pitta bread

Hollow Middle Eastern flatbread

Pitta bread is a round, flat bread from the Middle East that puffs up during baking, creating a hollow pocket inside.

The pocket makes it ideal for stuffing with fillings like falafel or shawarma.

Also spelled pita.

I'll have a chicken kebab in pitta bread.
