Pita bread is a round, flat bread made from flour, water, yeast, and salt. It is baked at high heat, which can make a hollow pocket inside. Its soft, slightly chewy texture makes it easy to fold or fill.

Pita has roots in the Middle East. It is often used to hold foods such as meat, vegetables, or falafel, and it may also be cut into pieces and served with dips.
