Pita

  • A round wheat and yeast-based flatbread, pita, also known as pitta or pita bread, is a common staple in many Mediterranean and Middle Eastern diets.

    There are two different types of pita: The pocket style is often stuffed to make falafel, gyros or other sandwiches. It is made by placing a thin layer of dough on a convex sheet placed over an open fire. Due to the high heat, the dough inflates with air as it cooks so that there are two separate layers when it deflates.

    The thicker, single-layer Greek style pita is better for scooping sauces or dips, such as hummus or tzatziki, and is traditionally cooked in a stone floor oven.
