pita pocket
Hollow Middle Eastern bread
A pita pocket is a round, flat bread that puffs during baking, creating a hollow interior.
The pocket can be stuffed with fillings like falafel, meat, or vegetables: I grabbed a pita pocket stuffed with hummus and grilled chicken.
Often shortened to just pita.
