1

Pre heat the oven to 160°C

In a large baking tray add the tomatoes cut side up, break up the garlic clove and keep the skin on bash it cloves with a knife and add them to the pan.

3

Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle on some salt and pepper. Place in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and lightly caramelized.

4

When the tomatoes are ready, remove from the oven and pick out all the garlic cloves, remove the garlic from the skins and this to a large pan. Discard the skin.

5

Empty in all the tomatoes and any juices released during cooking, into the pan.

6

Give everything a little stir around and add the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Add a small handful of basil leaves and stir to combine.

7

Using a stick blender or a high spend blender, blitz the soup to your desired consistency, I like mine fairly smooth. Taste for seasoning and add accordingly.

8

Keep on allow heat whilst you make the toasties. Spread 4 slices of bread with 1 tbs of pesto on each, top with your cheese of choice and another slice of bread. Toast in a pan either side until the cheese has melted or using a sandwich toasting machine.

With some of the gluten free pittas you just end up as a piece of flat bread. These ones actually puff up in the toaster and act just like the normal gluteny ones. We buy them all the time, they’re great.

As a lover of all things pita bread and pita chips I was blown away by the taste and texture of Bfree pitas! I’m a huge lover of Mediterranean food in general and these have never failed to create a tasty 10/10 Mediterranean meal. I usually split em and fill em up with my favourite veggies, hummus and chicken then drizzle with tzatziki sauce and it reminds me the Greek restaurant I used to love so much as a kid! Definitely a must try for all my pita lovers out there.

I have tried so many BFree products and they are all so good. My personal favorite is the Pita Bread. It is such a unique bread for being gluten free and I have never seen another brand make the same. It tastes incredible I love them. Thank you for creating such amazing gluten free breads!

A perfectly gooey brownie slice! The salted caramel wasn’t super obvious, but an absolutely delicious gluten free brownie nonetheless!
