Sainsbury's 6 Wholemeal Pittas
What it is
These are soft, round flatbreads made with wholemeal flour. They are a good source of carbohydrates and are suitable for a plant-based diet. The pitta bread has a characteristic pocket that forms when heated, making it ideal for stuffing. Each pitta is a convenient size for a single serving.
How people cook with it
Pittas are a versatile bread that can be enjoyed in many ways. They are perfect for quick meals and snacks.
- Stuff with fillings
- Serve with dips
- Warm and eat plain
- Use as a sandwich base
To enjoy the classic pitta pocket, warm them gently. You can toast them in a toaster, heat them in a dry frying pan over medium heat for a minute or two per side, or warm them in the oven. Once heated, carefully slice one edge to open the pocket. This makes them ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients like falafel, grilled vegetables, or chicken. They can also be torn and used for scooping up hummus or other dips.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to white pitta bread, wholemeal pitta has a slightly denser texture and a nuttier flavor due to the inclusion of the entire wheat grain. This also gives it a darker color.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and filling bread option for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, keep any remaining pitta bread in its original packaging or an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness. They can be frozen for longer storage; thaw at room temperature before use.
