Qu'est-ce que le/la/l'Pita Pocket Bread ?

Pita bread is a family of yeast-leavened round flatbreads baked from wheat flour, originating in the Middle East. It's known for its distinctive pocket, which forms when steam puffs up the dough during baking and then collapses as it cools, leaving an internal cavity.

"While often enjoyed as a simple vehicle for fillings, quality pita bread should have a subtle chew and a slightly yeasty, satisfying flavor that complements, rather than merely contains, its culinary partners."
