Today I finally bring you this recipe of Whole wheat pita bread, a recipe that’s very easy to make and handy enough when wanting to enjoy something tasty. The pita bread is a very versatile recipe, because besides of enjoying it with different types of fillings, you can also use it as a base to make small pizzas for your children. You can also cut them into small triangles, then you can toast them with a little bit of olive oil and oregano on top, and you will have delicious chips to dip on different types of sauces or the classic hummus.
For this occasion I filled each half of whole wheat pita bread with purple cabbage in a yogurt sauce, and meat balls with baked quinoa.
