Pita Bread

Pita bread is stable in the middle eastern mostly famous for scooping with hummus, you will almost find it in every middle eastern restaurant, sometimes it is used as a wrap like shawarma meat or chicken also great with vegetables.
This yeast-risen Pita bread is easy to make at home it bakes up in less than 2 minutes each side, very satisfying to watch when it puffs up like a balloon. Once you know how to make your own Pitas you will never buy store bought ones again. These freeze well too.
