18cm Handmade Pitta

You can use this flatbread as a wrap for gyros, skewers, sausages, grilled cheese, or vegan options accompanied with Greek spreads. You can also use it cut as a sider or in sandwiches as a club sandwich bread.

Alexakis 18cm Handmade Pitta is a pre-baked, traditional Greek flatbread with a softer, thicker, and chewier texture than the standard Alexakis pitta. Produced in Greece since 1956, this handmade version offers an authentic, rustic flavor and is ideal for creating traditional Greek street foods.

Key features

• Handmade texture: Unlike the machine-made version, the handmade pitta has a more irregular, rustic texture. It is thicker and more substantial, making it resistant to tearing when filled.
• Authentic flavor: Made with traditional methods, this pitta has a distinctly homemade taste that is beloved by souvlaki restaurants, fast-food establishments, and home cooks alike.
• Versatile: The 18cm diameter is a popular size for wraps, kebabs, and sandwiches, and its soft, fluffy texture is also perfect for dipping.
• Frozen fresh: It is immediately frozen after production to lock in freshness and can be stored in the freezer for up to 12 months.

Preparation and use

• Heating: For best results, heat the pre-baked pitta in an oven, toaster, or on a grill for a few minutes until warm and pliable.
• Versatile: Use it for classic Greek dishes such as:
• Gyros wraps: Fill with grilled meat, tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki.
• Souvlaki: Wrap around grilled meat skewers.
• Dips: Cut into wedges and serve with Greek spreads like hummus or tzatziki.
