WHOLE WHEAT- OATS PITA BREAD

Hello !

I am here with a healthy version of  'Pita Bread'  which is made of whole wheat and oats !! yes! , I have tried whole wheat Pita bread , it was good but became more chewy after sometime , but with oats it made some magic , oat's slimy nature adds softness and keep them soft when you store them for few days.

Pita is a soft , slightly leavened flatbread baked from wheat flour . It is used in many mediterranean , Balkan and Middle Eastern countries . Pockets of Pita can be filled with variety of fillings , Falalfel , salads etc.

I chose this bread because it has no butter,very less oil, healthy , filling , which can be packed for lunch with variety of fillings , easy to carry and eat it on the go .
