Tips for wrapping a roll of pita bread

So that rolls from pita bread with different fillings do not fall apart and reliably hold all the contents in themselves, they must be correctly wrapped.

The easiest way to do this is by the principle of shawarma:

  1. Lay out pita bread or another base on a horizontal surface.
  2. Top with sauce and toppings.
  3. In turn, turn the edges horizontally and vertically. Turns should turn out quite wide - about 3 - 5 cm.
  4. Roll up the base roll.

If the portion of the filling is small, it can be laid out from one edge of the pita, stepping back a little for the opening. In this case, you need to wrap the base directly on top of the laid out ingredients. Then you should also act with the second edge and roll the roll.

The roll must be wrapped tightly so that it turns out to be strong, without voids inside.
