Pita

Pita is a round, flat bread that is a staple in many cuisines. It is believed to have originated in the Middle East and has been a part of the region’s cuisine for thousands of years.

Pitas are made from a simple dough of flour, water, and yeast. The dough is kneaded and then left to rise. Once it has doubled in size, it is formed into balls and flattened into rounds. The rounds are then cooked on a hot griddle or in a dry, hot oven.

Pitas can be eaten plain or used to wrap meats and vegetables. They are also a popular ingredient in salads and dips.
