Sainsbury's Seeded Pittas 348g
What it is
These are soft, round flatbreads made with wheat flour and a blend of seeds, including sunflower, poppy, and sesame seeds. They are designed to be split open to create a pocket, making them ideal for fillings. The addition of seeds provides a subtle nutty flavor and a pleasant texture contrast to the soft bread. They are a convenient option for quick meals and snacks.
How people cook with it
Seeded pittas are a versatile base for a wide range of savory dishes. They can be warmed or eaten as is.
- Fill with grilled chicken and salad
- Stuff with falafel and hummus
- Serve alongside curries
- Use for mini pizzas
To enjoy them warm, you can heat them gently in a dry frying pan for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, they can be warmed in a toaster on a low setting or in a preheated oven for a few minutes. Once warmed, carefully slice around the edge to create a pocket. This pocket is perfect for holding various fillings, from meats and vegetables to cheeses and sauces. They can also be cut into wedges and served as a side.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain pittas, these seeded versions offer a more complex flavor profile due to the mix of sunflower, poppy, and sesame seeds. The seeds also add a slight crunch and visual appeal, differentiating them from smoother, unadorned flatbreads.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and flavorful bread option for lunches and dinners.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any remaining seeded pittas in a cool, dry place, ideally in an airtight container or the original packaging, to maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out. Seal the bag tightly to keep them soft.
