LOL didn't realise I'd put bums rather than buns Oh well!!!

I didn't manage to get out to buy any so still haven't tried but on a different note I did manage to make a fantastic curry using two tins of smart price chunky chicken in white sauce totally cheap dish and it was lovely!!!

I wonder if home made are easier to cut cos they are fresher.

loads of recipes on the net this one looks good

If freezing anything you might want to slice later (like the ys pitas), it might be easier tyo slice them before freezing?

my daughter used to love them cut in half, shoved full of grated cheese and carrot then put in the toaster til the bread is crisp and the cheese melted - easiest toasted sarnie ever!

Can anyone tell me the best way to split a pitta bread? I can never manage it and I just end up with a torn mess that won't hold anything!

I pop mine in the toaster and watch it until it starts to puff up. I have also done this in the microwave, but I prefer the crunch the pitta gets from being lightly toasted.

Once it starts to puff up I pull it out and cut in half down the middle of the pitta, et voila 2 nice pitta pockets to fill with whatever you fancy. Hope that helps

I've recently bought some round pittas and they much better

Every packet of pittas performs differently. Some are always bad, some are good.

What I do is toast them in the toaster - turning them 1-2x and waiting for them to puff up. Then I plop them onto a plate and simply slice the entire strip off. I then open the pitta and shove the cut off strip inside to cool down the insides (because usually I am about to fill them with cold cheese or cold egg mayo.

Not "slit" like a kebab shop .... but much easier.

Sometimes I use scissors

I also toast them, I do find the own brand versions tend to fuse together when cut though.
