Baladi Egyptian Sourdough Pocket Bread

"Flatbreads are among the most enduring recipes within the entire global culinary canon, and for very good reason. They’re simple to make, satisfying to eat, and play a rather practical part at the dinner table, acting as a scoop for dips, a pocket for veggies and proteins, or a base for an impromptu pizza. It’s no wonder then, that flatbreads like Egyptian baladi have been a staple starch for an estimated 4,000 years. In tribute to this staggeringly lengthy tradition, we now offer Trader Joe’s Baladi Egyptian Sourdough Pocket Bread in our freezers. Made for us by a supplier in Egypt, these versatile (and vegan) Baladi Pocket Breads take only a matter of minutes in the conventional oven, or mere seconds in the micowave, before they’re puffed up, toasty, and ready to eat. Once heated, they have a tasty, slightly tangy Sourdough tinge to their flavor profile, and are ideal for stuffing with your favorite fillings. We’re partial to going with a classic combo of Falafel, chopped cucumbers, and our Garlic Spread-Dip (especially if you want to keep things vegan), though they’re equally excellent when stuffed with our Gyros or Shawarma Chicken Thighs, too. And, of course, you can just serve them for dipping in hummus or tahini, as they do in Egypt."
