About Lebanese bread

Lebanese bread, also known as pita bread, is a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly Lebanese gastronomy. Its simple ingredients—flour, water, yeast, and salt—create a soft, round flatbread that is often enjoyed fresh or lightly toasted. The dough is traditionally baked at high temperatures, causing it to puff and form a hollow interior. This versatility makes it ideal for stuffing with fillings, serving alongside dips like hummus, or folding into wraps. Lebanese bread is low in fat and often free from added sugars, making it a healthy choice in moderation. It provides a source of carbohydrates and some dietary fiber, especially when made with whole wheat flour. However, its refined white flour version may lack significant nutrients. Pairing it with lean proteins and fresh vegetables can enhance its nutritional value, ensuring it contributes to a balanced meal.
