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 17cm Greek Pitta is a soft, pre-baked, traditional flatbread ideal for crafting authentic Greek meals like gyros. Made in Greece by the Alexakis company, this pita bread is praised for its authentic texture and taste.

Key features

• Size: The pitta has a 17cm diameter, which is the ideal size for wrapping gyros.
• Texture: Unlike the pocketed Middle Eastern pita, Greek pitta is thicker, softer, and more doughy. It becomes fluffy and lightly crusty when heated.
• Authentic: Produced in Greece since 1956, Alexakis has become a renowned and respected brand for pitta bread.
• Variants: In addition to the standard wheat flour version, Alexakis also produces a corn flour version for a slightly different flavor and texture.

Preparation and use

• Heating: For best results, heat the pre-baked pitta in an oven, toaster, or on a grill for just a few minutes until warm and pliable.
• Versatile: This pitta can be used for a wide variety of meals, including:
• Gyros and souvlaki: Used as a wrap for grilled meat skewers or gyros and traditional fillings like tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki.
• Dips and spreads: Cut into wedges and serve with hummus, tzatziki, or other Greek spreads.
• Sandwiches: Use as a base for sandwiches, wraps, or even as a flatbread for a personal pizza.
