Pita

The flatbread, likely unleavened and somewhat resembling pita bread, was fashioned from wild cereals such as barley, einkorn or oats, as well as tubers from an aquatic papyrus relative, that had been ground into flour.

Customers continue to regularly shop at the market-bakery for homemade pita bread, bottles of specialty sauces, and the family’s famed hummus, or chickpea paste.

It's the best recipe for pita bread with ground meat.

There is a wide variety of pites, small triangles of butter laden crispy filo dough, voluptuously filled with cheeses, vegetables or spiced meats.

A sweet smell of cheese and milk pites permeates the air of the homes of Greek housewives who prepare the pites according to the tradition of their forefathers.

Most often pites are made with filo dough, but certainly not always. They can be filled with anything and everything, and they are.

They served pita, my old nemesis. I ordered one, and it arrived oozing with hummus and studded with bright green falafel. It was horribly delicious.
