About Syrian bread

Syrian bread, also known as pita bread, is a soft, round, and versatile flatbread originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly Syria. Traditionally made from simple ingredients like flour, water, yeast, and salt, it features a unique pocket that forms when baked at high temperatures. This bread is often used as a wrap, sandwich base, or accompaniment to dips like hummus and baba ghanoush. Nutritionally, Syrian bread is a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy, and contains small amounts of protein and fiber, especially if made with whole wheat flour. It is generally low in fat, making it a healthier bread option compared to richer or butter-laden varieties. However, the white flour version may have reduced fiber and fewer nutrients. Syrian bread’s simplicity and versatility make it a staple in Middle Eastern diets, offering a satisfying yet balanced addition to meals.
