Prepare Pita Bread For Dips

Prepared pita bread is a healthy alternative to potato or corn chips for dips. This dipping food is made from commercially or homemade pita, or pocket, bread. The round bread is easily sliced and baked. It is nice to offer an alternative, at gatherings, to those who are health conscious.


Instructions


1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.


2. Place a pita bread on your cutting board, Slice all the way around the edge of the circle. This will create two circle-halves, revealing the pocket in the center. Slice each half into four or eight even wedges, like a pie. The size of the pita bread pieces is an individual choice. Repeat the process with the rest of the pita bread.


3. Place the pita pieces in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle them with extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle on all the seasonings and mix until they are thoroughly coated.


4. Layer the pita bread pieces on a cookie sheet.


5. Bake the pieces for five to seven minutes, or until they are lightly toasted and crispy. Serve the pita bread pieces with your favorite dip.
