Whole Wheat Pitas Recipes

Whole wheat pitas are soft, round flatbreads made with whole wheat flour, giving them a nutty flavor and more hearty texture than white pitas. Many varieties form a pocket when warmed, making them ideal for quick lunches, stuffed sandwiches, and easy weeknight dinners.

Use whole wheat pitas for falafel pockets, chicken shawarma wraps, hummus plates, mini pizzas, breakfast pitas, or baked pita chips. Their mild flavor pairs well with bold sauces, fresh vegetables, grilled meats, beans, and tangy cheeses.

For the best texture, warm pitas briefly before serving and avoid overfilling the pocket, which can cause tearing. Slightly stale pitas are excellent for crisping into chips or tearing into fattoush-style salads.
