Sainsbury's Flame Baked Folded Flatbreads
What it is
These are soft, round flatbreads that have been baked at a high temperature, giving them a slightly charred flavor and a tender texture. They are designed to be folded, making them ideal for stuffing with various fillings. The dough is typically made from wheat flour, water, and yeast, resulting in a versatile bread base.
How people cook with it
These flatbreads are a convenient base for quick meals and snacks. Their pliable nature makes them easy to work with.
- Stuff with grilled chicken and salad
- Fill with falafel and hummus
- Use as a wrap for breakfast eggs
- Serve alongside curries or stews
To enjoy them at their best, gently warm the flatbreads before serving. You can do this by placing them in a dry frying pan over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or by wrapping them in foil and warming them in a moderate oven for a few minutes. Once warm and pliable, they can be easily folded in half to create a pocket for your chosen fillings. Avoid overheating, as this can make them brittle.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike firmer flatbreads that might be baked until crisp, these are intentionally soft and foldable. The flame baking process imparts a subtle smoky note that distinguishes them from breads baked solely in an oven.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and adaptable bread option for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any remaining flatbreads in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature. They are best consumed within a few days. For longer storage, they can be frozen, then thawed and warmed as needed.
