While making pita bread, ensure you dissolve the yeast well in warm water, because it will not get activated if you use cold or hot water.

Another variant is the Zaatar bread which is sprinkled with the famous Zaatar spice before baking.

You can even make pita bread with plain flour to make them more fluffy. To increase the health quotient, substitute with jowar flour to make healthy pita breads. Jowar Pita Pockets stuffed with salad and patties is a guilt-free snack you can munch upon!
