Spelt pita bread is a great accompaniment to a Mediterranean inspired lunch or dinner. It is easy to make, contains minimal ingredients and is lower in gluten than traditional store-bought pita.
We recommend serving this spelt pita bread with hummus, our spicy walnut and beetroot dip, creamy avo dip, olive tapenade, grilled halloumi, falafel and/or tabouli salad. Mezze plate sorted!
