Butter, cheese and a warm bread... Few things in this life give the happiness of this trio. It is practical, the most priceless moment of pleasure is when we eat them. We opened the cabinet. Our butter and cheese are okay. Bread? He didn't stay at home. Moreover, all bakeries and markets are closed. At this very moment, pita bread reaches our cries for help. It complements butter and cheese with its soft, fluffy consistency. It doesn't leave you feeling unsatisfied.
Pita bread, which we know from Middle Eastern cuisine as an integral part of falafel, is not a difficult recipe. The materials are things we always have at hand. But you need to turn on the oven first and get it hot. We are calling out to those of you who are lazy. In our opinion, just thinking about the butter melting in it and filling it with falafel and eating it the next day is enough.
