pitas
Flatbreads with pockets
Pitas is the plural of pita, a round, flat bread common in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines.
The bread typically forms a pocket when baked, making it ideal for stuffing with fillings: We filled the pitas with falafel and tahini.
Pita also refers to the pocket itself: chicken pita.
