Greek bread, a staple in Greek cuisine, is celebrated for its simple yet flavorful ingredients and versatile uses. Traditionally made from wheat flour, water, yeast, olive oil, and a touch of salt, it often incorporates wholesome elements like whole grains or seeds for added texture and nutrition. Olive oil, a key component, enriches the bread with healthy monounsaturated fats and imparts a subtle Mediterranean flavor. The bread is typically baked into loaves or rolls, with variations like "horiatiko psomi" (country-style bread) embodying the rustic charm of Greek traditions. While it offers a source of carbohydrates for energy and can be enriched with vitamins and fiber when using whole-grain flour, it may be high in calories when consumed in excess, particularly if paired with rich accompaniments like butter or cheese. Moderation and mindful pairing with fresh dips or salads can make Greek bread a wholesome and delightful addition to your diet.
