Pitta bread is a kind of round flat bread which has its origins in Mediterranean cuisine. This
bread has been used for centuries in Middle Eastern kitchens and has now become popular
all over the world. It is an excellent option for lovers of Mediterranean cuisine as it can be
used in many of its traditional dishes.
We use high quality flour to make our bread and this makes it a healthier option as well as
being high in protein and fibre. It is also low in saturated fats and calories making it ideal if
you are trying to keep your diet as healthy as possible. This post describes some of the most
famous Mediterranean creations which work especially well with pita bread.
One of the most popular ways to use pita bread in Mediterranean cuisine is as a base for
shawarma. Shawarma is a traditional Middle Eastern dish which is made using roast meat
and spices and is served in a pita bread with vegetables and sauces. Pita bread helps to
keep all the ingredients together, making this a great meal to take away.
Another popular Mediterranean dish is falafel. Falafel are balls of chopped chickpeas which
are deep fried and served inside a pita bread with fresh salad and tahini or yoghurt sauce.
Pitta bread is perfect for this meal as it is strong enough to hold it without breaking and soft
enough to absorb the delicious sauce.
Pita bread is also used in Mediterranean cuisine as a pizza base, for a lighter and healthier
version of traditional pizza. To recreate this yourself, all you need to do is open the pita
bread so that it separates into two halves, cover with tomato sauce, add cheese and your chosen toppings and cook in the oven. Pita is perfect for this as it is so thin and becomes
nice and crunchy in the oven – a quick and delicious meal for all the family.
Apart from the above options, pita bread is used in a wide variety of other Mediterranean
dishes. You can also use it as a sort of spoon to scoop up hummus or to make a meat
sandwich with veggies and sauce. It is also ideal to cut into slices and serve with dips.
In short, pita bread is an excellent option for lovers of Mediterranean cuisine. It can be used
in a variety of traditional Mediterranean dishes, such as shawarma, falafel and pizza. It is
also a healthy and versatile choice. If you love Mediterranean cuisine, you should definitely
consider adding pita bread to your diet, and if you have yet to try it, we strongly suggest you
do so as soon as possible!
