Greek Flavours brings the Greek bakery to your door, shipped from Greece. This is the bread basket of a Greek table: soft pita for souvlaki and dips, twice-baked barley rusks for dakos, traditional pastries and savory breadsticks. Each item comes from Greek bakers and producers and is chosen for how it tastes and how it holds up, from the first bite to the last.
What a Greek bakery is
The Greek bakery covers the breads and baked goods that sit alongside almost every meal. Pita opens a meze table and wraps grilled meat. Rusks soak up tomato and olive oil for dakos. Pastries and breadsticks fill the gap between meals or round out a spread. Some of these keep for weeks in the cupboard; others are shipped quickly to arrive fresh.
The core of the Greek bread basket
Pita bread
Soft Greek pita for souvlaki, gyros, and for scooping dips like tzatziki and taramosalata. See the range in Authentic Greek Pita Bread.
Rusks and dakos
Twice-baked barley and wheat rusks, the base of Cretan dakos with chopped tomato, feta and olive oil. Browse Rusks and Dakos.
Traditional pastry
Greek baked goods and pastries for breakfast, coffee time, or dessert. Explore Artisanal Pastry.
Breadsticks and savory
Savory breadsticks and koulouri-style bakes to pass around with cheese, olives and dips. See Artisanal Breadsticks.
How to use the Greek bakery
Keep pita on hand for a fast souvlaki night or a meze table with dips. Stock a bag of rusks for dakos in summer, when tomatoes are at their best. Add pastries for breakfast or coffee, and breadsticks for something to pick at before a meal. Together, they cover most of the bread you reach for across a Greek week.
Frequently asked questions about the Greek bakery
What is Greek pita and how is it different?
Greek pita is a soft, pocketless flatbread. It is used to wrap souvlaki and gyros and to scoop dips, and it is thicker and softer than the pocket pita found elsewhere.
What is dakos?
Dakos is a Cretan dish built on a barley rusk, topped with grated tomato, crumbled feta or mizithra, olive oil, and oregano. The rusk softens slightly under the tomato and keeps a little bite.
Do these products need refrigeration?
Rusks, breadsticks, and dry pastries are shelf-stable and keep for weeks in a cool, dry cupboard. Fresh pita is shipped quickly to arrive in good condition and is best kept sealed and used within a few days, or frozen.
How do I keep pita soft?
Keep pita sealed at room temperature and warm it briefly in a dry pan or oven before serving. It also freezes well, so you can keep a stock and keep what you need warm.
What goes well with Greek rusks?
Beyond dakos, rusks work with any topping you would put on bruschetta: tomato, olive oil, olives, cheese, and herbs. They also go alongside soups and dips.
How long does delivery take?
Orders are prepared in 2 to 4 working days and then shipped, with transit time added on top. Fresh pita is shipped quickly, so it arrives in good condition.
