What type of pita is the best to use in Greek recipes? I get really confused with all the different types of pita and the brands. What is the style of Greek pita? Is it the one that looks like this picture?

It doesn't quite look like the picture you posted, it's more like the one in the gyro picture below. It does get confusing, especially if you don’t have any Greek supermarkets nearby and you’re buying from American supermarkets or middle eastern or general european supermarkets. Greek pita is fluffier, thicker and is lighter in color.

Hey I think the picture you posted is something different. There's a Greek dish that's more like a pancake, but not like the pancakes we have here in the United States. It's savory, more like a fried bread, and the pancakes don't use yeast. The batter is very similar to an American pancake, but a little thinner so they don't fry up as fluffy as an American pancake. Greek pita bread is fluffier than other types of pita bread you can get in the store. It's used to make gyros, and they do use yeast.

Yes, I believe the one in the original picture is tiganopita with feta. The real Greek pita is in this picture!

One of the things I love most about Greek honey is its versatility. You can use it in so many different ways in the kitchen. I've drizzled it over Greek yogurt for breakfast, mixed it into salad dressings for a touch of sweetness, and even used it as a glaze for roasted vegetables. The depth of flavor it adds to dishes is truly remarkable.
But perhaps my favorite way to use Greek honey is in baking. It adds a wonderful depth of flavor to cakes, cookies, and pastries. I recently made a batch of baklava using Greek honey, and it was a game-changer. The honey soaked into the layers of phyllo dough, creating a sweet and sticky treat that was absolutely irresistible.
I go out of my way to buy it - if I can't find it locally, I get it online. When I go to Greece, I get some in Greece, too.
