Arabic Bread

Arabic or Pita Bread is the most elemental of foods of the Lebanese cuisine. It is one of the staple foods of the entire Arab world.

With globalisation, we could now get them off the shelves from major supermarkets locally, of course at a higher price if you compare them at less than SG$0.10 cents per piece in Arab; with many places offering them for free taking.

Arabic bread may be eaten in many ways with many kinds of other dishes. A simple recipe in the making of the bread, only 4 ingredients! White flour, water, yeast and salt; no preservatives, colorings, or oil added.

The bread may be eaten in accompaniment with any sorts of cooked meat, eggs, tomatoes, salad dishes. For a light snacks, it may be spread with jam, peanut butter, kaya, and all other assortments of cheese or toppings.

As a novice cook, i could only whip up a simple Tuna Onion Sandwich with my half cut-open, pocketed Arabic bread :) Try the thicker version of the bread; i feel it have a better bite than the thin ones.
