Khubz Arabi (الخبز العربي)/Pita Bread is common in the Middle East and its neighboring areas. Khubz, also known as Lebanese bread, or Syrian bread. In Egyptian Arabic, it is called ʿaish (عيش) or ʿaish baladi (عيش بلدي).'Aish means life in Arabic, highlighting the importance of pita bread in Egyptian culture. It is one of the staple food items in the Lebanese cuisine. Khubz Arabi (الخبز العربي)/Pita Bread bake at high temperature (450–475 °F) (232–246 °C), which turns the water in the dough into steam, thus causing the pita to puff up and form a pocket. When removed from the oven, the layers of baked dough remain separated inside the deflated pita, which allows the bread to be opened to form a pocket. However, pita is sometimes baked without pockets and is called "pocket-less pita". Once the Khubz Arabi (الخبز العربي)/Pita Bread is baked and cooled, it flattens out but maintains the internal pockets. Khubz Arabi (الخبز العربي)/Pita Bread is perfect for stuffing. Khubz Arabi (الخبز العربي)/Pita Bread can cut it in half and each half has its own pocket, which can be used for stuffing, common fillings include falafel, lamb or chicken Shawarma, kebab, omelettes such as shakshouka (eggs and tomatoes), hummus, and other mezes.
