The Love For Pita Bread



Pita bread or Arabic bread as it called in the Middle East; it is one of the most important parts of every meal on a daily basis. If the house doesn’t have much food, it must have pita bread in it. It is the main foods in most Arabic countries; do to its nutritious value and fresh taste. The people buy it from fresh bakeries, or make it at home daily. It is very easy to make, its ingredients are available in most household’s kitchen. Pita bread ingredients are flour, yeast, salt, and water that all what it needs to make the most delicious bread ever. Pita bread you can eat it with all savory food like hummus and kebabs, and you can cut it in half and make pocket to stuff it with you favorite stuffing. Pita makes perfect lunch sandwich and great snack with some kind of dip. The secret behind forming the puffiness and form the pocket is the high heated oven of 500°F or even hotter if possible. The high temperature will cook it evenly and make the pocket, which made pita very unique and famous. I grow up eating pita every single day and I have try so many kind of bread but my favorite one is always the pita.

  1. mmmmm. you made me hungry
    I love pita bread. I feel like i can go home and make it now.
    however i never had the puffy kind. Do you do the same thing to make the flat pita bread, that you would eat with like the chicken and rice you get at a greek restaurant. I know the Papoyias( however you spell) it restaurant at the mall right outside from Forever XXI
    gives me chicken kabobs with pita bread, salad and the cucumber dressing. How would you make all of that to have at home, because i have been craving me some of that i just don't want to spend the money at the restaurant i rather spend the money to buy the ingredients and use it more.

    1. to make the pita is really easy just use any basic white bread recipe. the key to make them puff in high heated oven to the max for four minutes and they will be done nicely.
