Traditional Greek Wheat Pita Bread – The Everyday Round for Wraps and Meze (10 Rounds × 18 cm)

The pita Athens built its street food on. In the format that works every day.

Stamatis pita is made with wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt. The short ingredient list of a bread that has nothing to hide. No preservatives, no artificial additives, and fully vegan-friendly. At 242 kcal per 100g with under 1g of fat, it is one of the leaner bread formats available, which makes it a practical everyday base rather than an indulgent addition.

What the label tells you:

• Low fat: less than 1g of fat per 100g, of which 0.3g saturates — a genuinely lean bread base

• Clean carbohydrate source: 51g of carbohydrates per 100g, of which only 2.5g sugars — no added sweeteners
• Preservative-free: shelf life is managed by correct storage, not by additives

Storage guide: getting the most out of each round.

This pita is preservative-free, which means the storage method determines how long it stays at its best. The 18 cm format is particularly well suited to freezer use: ten individual rounds that can be taken out one at a time, with no need to defrost the entire pack.

How to store it correctly:

• At room temperature: keep in the original sealed packaging, away from heat and direct light. Consume within 3 days of opening.
• In the refrigerator (0–4°C): extends shelf life to 6 days. Keep sealed or in an airtight container to prevent drying.
• In the freezer (–18°C): up to 12 months. Separate rounds before freezing so you can take them out individually. Store in the original packaging or in a resealable bag.

Freshness timeline:

• Sealed, at room temperature: up to 3 days
• Sealed or well-wrapped, refrigerated: up to 6 days
• Frozen: up to 12 months — quality fully preserved

How to heat from frozen — the one rule that matters:

Do not thaw before heating. Place the pita directly from the freezer onto a hot, dry pan, grill, or barbecue. It will warm through in 1–2 minutes per side. Thawing first and then reheating results in a softer, less structured pita. Straight from frozen gives the best result, and the 18 cm size means it heats evenly in a standard pan with no overhang.
