About “Pita bread” in Hebrew

Pita is the everyday bread of Israel, used as a vessel for everything from falafel to shakshuka. Unlike Western pita, Israeli pita is thicker and softer, often baked fresh in neighborhood bakeries each morning. The pocket formed during baking makes it the perfect edible utensil for scooping hummus or wrapping grilled meats.

Example

הַפִּיתָה חַמָּה מֵהַתַּנּוּר.

This word starts with the Hebrew letter pe.
