Pavlitas

Pavlitas are a type of traditional Greek bread, originating from the island of Crete. They are typically small, round, and slightly flattened, with a crispy crust and a soft, chewy interior. The dough is made from flour, water, salt, and yeast, and is often kneaded by hand. Pavlitas are often baked in a special oven called a "pavlova," which is a large, flat-bottomed oven with a dome-shaped lid. This oven gives the bread its distinctive shape and texture. Pavlitas are often served as a side dish with meals, and are also popular as a snack. They are typically eaten plain, but can also be topped with olive oil, salt, or other seasonings. Pavlitas are a staple in Greek cuisine and are enjoyed throughout Greece and by Greeks around the world.
