Pita Bread

Once you find out how easy it is to make your own pitas at home, we're sure you'll never be able to go back to days-old, store-bought varieties again. The process is similar to that of most other bread except you roll the dough flat and bake it in a very hot oven. And once you bake a batch, Food & Wine has plenty of ways to use this unique flatbread. Use it to scoop up fresh hummus, try as your next sandwich bread or transform into crunchy baked chips.

In this recipe for plant-based nachos, pita chips are drizzled with a feta queso and then laden with lentil chili, harissa-spiked pickled cabbage, and a dollop of creamy labneh. Make the chips, queso, and cabbage ahead of time to help this dish come together easily, or use store-bought pita chips, if desired. The tangy feta queso gets its smooth body from the addition of red lentils and is a versatile ingredient on its own, says Cassie Piuma of Sarma in Somerville, Massachusetts: "We use this queso in mac and cheese and sub it in as a sauce for eggplant parm or moussaka."
