By Sainsbury's Wholemeal Folded Flatbread
What it is
This is a type of bread made with wholemeal flour, which means it includes the entire grain kernel. It is shaped into a flat, round disc and is designed to be folded. This preparation makes it suitable for wrapping around fillings. The wholemeal flour gives it a slightly denser texture and a nuttier flavor compared to white flour versions. It is a versatile base for many meals and snacks.

To enjoy these flatbreads, you can warm them slightly in a dry pan or a microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable. Once warm, they are ready to be filled with your favorite ingredients.
