Pitta bread is a soft, slightly chewy flatbread with Middle Eastern and Mediterranean origins, commonly used in cuisines from these regions. Made from simple ingredients like wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt, it is often baked at high temperatures, which causes it to puff up and create a pocket ideal for stuffing with various fillings. Pitta is a versatile choice for wraps, sandwiches, or dipping into spreads like hummus. Nutritionally, it is a good source of complex carbohydrates and provides some fiber, especially in whole-grain varieties. It's low in fat but can be high in sodium, depending on the recipe. To optimize its health benefits, pair pitta bread with nutrient-rich fillings such as lean proteins, fresh vegetables, and healthy fats like tahini or avocado.
