About Bread, pita, white, unenriched
Pita is a soft, round flatbread beloved across the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and the Balkans, where it has been baked for thousands of years. Its signature trick is the pocket: a blast of high oven heat puffs the thin dough into a balloon, and as it cools the hollow center collapses into a handy pouch. That pocket makes pita the perfect vessel for stuffing with falafel, gyro meat, grilled vegetables, or salad, while pocketless styles are ideal for wrapping shawarma or scooping up hummus and baba ganoush.
Made simply from flour, water, yeast, and salt, a medium whole-wheat pita has around 165 calories along with fiber and B vitamins. Cut into wedges and toasted or baked, it becomes crisp pita chips. Warm it briefly before serving to bring back its softness. Keep pita sealed at room temperature for a few days, or freeze it, since it stales quickly once exposed to air.
