Where to buy flatbread thins in NI
SharonFriday 6th November 2020
Hi Ita,
We used folded flatbread thins, depending on the brand, they are also called folded flatbreads. You should be able to find them in most major supermarkets in NI. Hope this helps and thanks for getting in touch with your question.
Sarah NeelyThursday 5th November 2020
Hi,
Wondering where you can get the flatbread thins, not seen them before.
Sarah
SharonFriday 6th November 2020
Hi Sarah,
The flatbreads we used were called folded flatbread thins but are also known as folded flatbreads, different brands just have a slightly different name for them. They can be found in most of the large supermarkets. Hope this helps. Thanks for your question and hope you enjoy making these.
