Opening pitta breads

Is there a "right way"?

Ive established after extensive research and blind testing that Morrisons whole meal are the dogs bollocks in pitta, but I'm none the wiser about the best way to open them. Obv slice down the long side ... but which side? How do you which is the "top"?

Ok, so I know this! Apparently you slice across the curved part then open the bread and place the piece you’ve cut off inside as a flat ‘base’.

I really need a diagram!

I cut mine in half then toast them in the toaster. That seems to open them a bit further.

You could run power plants on the steam from pittas

Waitrose ones open really well
I cut on the long side but choose randomly which side is up

I only buy the Warburtons pre sliced pittas now. I have given up with anything else as I end up ruining them all and burning my hands.

@Thestoppedfan nice & random on a jigsaw thread!! 😁

I find doing them
under the grill works as it makes them puff up properly so it's easy to cut yhem
open. If they haven't puffed up properly, I just slice the edge off.
