What it is
This is a type of flatbread. It is made from simple ingredients like flour, water, and yeast. It is baked until it is soft and pliable. The name suggests it does not have a pocket like some other pitas. This makes it suitable for different kinds of fillings and preparations. It is a convenient option for quick meals and snacks.

You can warm this pita bread gently on a stovetop or in a toaster oven to make it more pliable and enhance its flavor. It is excellent for scooping up dips like hummus or baba ghanoush.
