Gelsons Sweet Onion & Creme Fraiche Sourdough Flatbreads
What it is
These are thin, pre-baked flatbreads made with sourdough for a slight tang and fermented flavor. They are topped with a creamy mixture featuring sweet onions and creme fraiche, offering a savory and slightly rich profile. The texture is designed to be crisp when heated, providing a satisfying bite. They come ready to be warmed and served as a base for toppings or enjoyed on their own.
How people cook with it
These flatbreads are a versatile base for a variety of quick meals and appetizers. They are perfect for when you need something flavorful and ready to eat with minimal preparation.
- As a base for open-faced sandwiches

To enjoy these flatbreads at their best, they should be warmed. You can place them directly on an oven rack or a baking sheet and heat them in a preheated oven for a few minutes until they are golden and slightly crisp. Alternatively, a toaster oven can also be used. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become brittle. Once warmed, they are ready to be topped or served immediately.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike standard pizza crusts or pita bread, these flatbreads have a distinct sourdough flavor and a thinner, crispier texture when heated. The creme fraiche and sweet onion topping adds a pre-made savory element that sets them apart from plain flatbreads.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and flavorful base for quick meals or appetizers will appreciate these flatbreads.
How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any unused flatbreads in their original packaging or an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Once opened, it is best to consume them within a few days for optimal texture and flavor.
