Bread pockets, also known as pitas, are a type of flatbread that is usually split in half and filled with various ingredients. They are popular in many Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, and are often served as an accompaniment to soups and salads. Pita bread is made from wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt, and is typically baked in an oven. The dough is formed into a round shape and then cut into individual pieces before baking. The result is a pocket-like structure that can be filled with a variety of ingredients.
