What is the most common type of bread consumed in Greece?

The most common type of bread consumed in Greece is called “psomi” which is the Greek word for bread. Psomi is a simple white bread made from wheat flour, water, salt, and yeast. The bread has a slightly crusty exterior and a soft and chewy interior, and it is often used to mop up sauces and dips or served alongside traditional Greek meals.

In addition to psomi, there are many other types of bread that are popular in Greece, including:

• Pita: A flatbread that is often used to make gyros and souvlaki sandwiches
• Lagana: A bread made only on Clean Monday, the first day of Lent in the Greek Orthodox Church
• Koulouri: A round bread with sesame seeds that is often eaten as a breakfast food
• Tsoureki: A sweet bread made with eggs, milk, and butter that is traditionally eaten at Easter
