Pita bread, with its pocket-like structure, is not only delicious but also a great creative canvas in the kitchen. You can do so much more than dip it into hummus. So if you have some on hand, here are three fun ideas for how to use them.   

Pita Pizzas

Transform pitas into a quick and easy base for personal pizzas. The flat and sturdy texture of pita bread makes it an excellent alternative to traditional pizza dough. Add a bit of pizza sauce, sprinkle with mozzarella and your favorite toppings, and bake it in the oven for 10 minutes. You have yourself a quick and easy lunch or dinner. 

Pita Chips

Homemade pita chips are a crunchy and healthier alternative to store-bought chips and are perfect for snacking or serving with dips. Cut the pita bread into triangles. Brush each piece with olive oil and sprinkle with your choice of seasonings. Bake until golden and crispy and enjoy. 

Pita Stuffed Sandwiches

Finally, the pocket nature of pita bread makes it ideal for stuffed sandwiches. This can be a fun way to mix up your regular sandwich routine. You can make it with anything from ham and cheese to veggie stuffed goodness, or even peanut butter and jelly.
