To think pitta bread is just shite?

[NeoMaxiZoomDweebie]

I mean...I'm always reading "Make pitta pockets!" and "Fill pitta bread with (insert gorgeous ingredients)

But when you do, it's like eating a brown envelope stuffed with ham etc. Dry, horrid. Again I have bought pittas from Sainsbos only to find they're dry and horrible! They don't even open up properly but crumble...it's the same whenever I buy them..is it the brand or are they just a shitty sandwich?

[Wellthen]

It may be the brand as I have always found the open up fine. They are much better toasted though, even if you eat them cold. I like 'em.

[Sparklingbrook]

YANBU I am surprised Amazon don't use them for packaging.

[SDeuchars]

To open them properly, you do need to warm them first (and then watch out for the steam!).

[Cakecrumbsinmybra]

Um, do you pop it in the toaster first? Never eat one straight from the packet...

[NeoMaxiZoomDweebie]

Warm them you say...who could be buggered? It's a butty! Gah. I suppose I might...what in the oven?

[Cakecrumbsinmybra]

Toaster!

[Sparklingbrook]

Warm packaging. Yum.

[NeoMaxiZoomDweebie]

I have HEARD of warming them but thought it an option rather than a requirement!

[NeoMaxiZoomDweebie]

My toaster is bust. Oven?

[orangepudding]

They need to be toasted unless you buy some from a Greek/Turkish shop.

[GrimmaTheNome]

Make your own pittas, then they're not horrid. Much quicker than normal home-made bread as you can use the short pizza program, they don't really need to rise, and take 8 mins to bake.

[FutTheShuckUp]

You need to try the garlic and coriander pittas. Bloody yumtastic!

[Sparklingbrook]

Go and buy a Warbutons Toastie loaf. Sorted.

[PseudoBadger]

I either toast them, or do them in the oven covered with an olive oil, herbs, garlic, salt and pepper spread type thing. Then dip them in houmous.

[MarianForrester]

YABVU! Pittas are my staple diet

You need to toast them, though.

[gimmeanaxe]

much better if you make your own

[NeoMaxiZoomDweebie]

God. I really thought one could choose not to warm them! WIll they magically become moist?

[GrimmaTheNome]

OTOH, having just read that you can't be buggered to warm a bought pitta, that last post is probably making you go

[DragonsAreReal]

microwave them if your toaster is out!

[Hasitfallendownagain]

You have to warm them - then they will be lovely.

Best way to warm them imo is in a George Foreman grill. I reckon if you put them in a hot oven you'd need to wrap in foil to stop them going hard.

[ParadiseChick]

They have to be warned! It's not optional.

[Tiredmumno1]

Grimma

Neo just stick it in the oven til it's warm enough to be cut open then let it cool down a bit before eating it.

[AlfieBear87]

Make them into crisps - they're amazing!

Slice in half, brush over with oil, cover with fennel, coriander and cumin seeds, sprinkle with salt, cut into triangles then bake for 10 mins............then use to scoop up your dip of choice!

[SupermansBigRedPants]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeew you've not been warming them they are so delicious toasted yum yum seriously, tesco value wholemeal pittas can taste excellent when toasted, you're missing out.
Wait until you've done it you'll understand it all then

30 secs in microwave. Job done.
