  4. Just before serving, add the toasted bread and dressing, toss and sprinkle with the remaining sumac.

Notes

It was born as a way to use up day-old pitta. Add the bread just before serving so it stays crisp. Sumac, a red, tangy spice, is sold in Middle Eastern shops; if you have no pomegranate molasses, use a little more lemon with a pinch of sugar.
