Traditional greek pita bread

Pita - is a yeast-leavened round flatbread baked from wheat flour,


sometimes with a pocket.
Most pita are baked at
high temperatures
(232–246 °C), which
turns the water in the
dough into steam, thus
causing the pita to puff
up and form a pocket.
However, pita is
sometimes baked
without pockets and is
called "pocket-less pita".
Regardless of whether it
is made at home or in a
commercial bakery, pita
is proofed for a very
short time—only 15
minutes.
Pita is usually made by flour , salt, dry
yeast,virgin olive oil and water.
Pita can be used to scoop sauces or dips, such as hummus,
or to wrap kebabs gyros, or falafel in the manner of
sandwiches.
It can also be cut and baked into crispy pita
chips.
