Cairo restaurants will please visitors not only with a variety of dishes but also with affordable prices. Even budget tourists can easily afford to buy popular local delights. Bread is an important food in the national culinary. In Egypt, bread is cooked in a special oven. Pita is the most widespread variety. These are small round-shaped flatbreads that can be served alone or stuffed with various ingredients.
It is very interesting to watch how pita is being made. Pita flatbreads are made of a special dough type that becomes flaky in the oven. During the cooking process, Pita is sphere-shaped, but the flatbreads become flat again as they cool down. Because of that, there is a handy pocket inside the bread that is perfect for stuffing. Pita with meat and fresh vegetables is one of the most popular fast foods for local people.
