Pita

Pita (/ˈpɪtə/ or US: /ˈpiːtə/) or pitta (British English) is a family of yeast-leavened round flatbreads baked from wheat flour, common in the Mediterranean, Levant, and neighboring areas. It includes the widely known version with an interior pocket, also known as Arabic bread (Arabic: خبز عربي; khubz ʿArabī). In the United Kingdom, Greek bread is used for pocket versions such as the Greek pita, and are used for barbecues as a souvlaki wrap. The Western name pita may sometimes be used to refer to various other types of flatbreads that have different names in their local languages, such as numerous styles of Arab khubz (bread).

For other uses, see Pita (disambiguation).
In many languages, the word pita refers not to flatbread, but to flaky pastries: see börek for them.
Not to be confused with Pihta or Pitha.
