Cultural Facts

Pita bread is cooked in ovens that are very hot. The pocket generates from steam. The steam allows the pita to puff up while it is baking and then it flatens once it is cooled again. However, this time there is a pocket for stuffing favorites like falafel, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, olives, and feta.
