Feel free to adjust the spice levels to your liking. This recipe is very forgiving!
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a touch of smoked paprika.
If you don't have pita bread, naan bread or even a thin pizza crust will work well.
A dollop of plain yogurt with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sumac makes a wonderful accompaniment.
