Anybody try and use these as burger buns?

I tried it this evening. It's tricky to cut, but it can work.

1. I guess they would work ok if you want a thin bun. They can be hard to split well though.

2. Toast them first. Split easy.

3. I don't have a toaster, unfortunately

My kitchen is small, so I don't have a lot of room there. I don't think my roommate has one either. If I did, I would consider trying it. I ended up just trying to cut it with a knife. I usually get sandwich thins or hamburger buns, but I thought this would be a cheaper one, plus I didn't get time to get the ones I normally get.

4. You could use a cast iron grill or pan to toast (no oil needed) on the stovetop --

-- I did it for years, you just have to watch over it.

5. Pita burgers are a thing at Showmars

I've jammed a few down my gullet.

9. Interesting

I have also seen pretzel bun burgers as well. I don't remember which restaurant had it, but I have seen it before.

6. Tornado, how were they? Did they taste okay?

8. They did, but it was a bit hard to cut

I usually get hamburger buns or sandwich thins at Aldi's, but I didn't get time to get them. Plus, with food prices going up, I tried to look for something cheaper. They are good, but they can be harder to cut. Because pita bread has this sort of pocket in the middle, once you get there, it is fairly easy to cut the rest, but just getting the first cut can be tricky, especially since it is a very thin type of bread.

7. Just a thought - Think beef Falafel

14. That looks good

My apartment doesn't have a huge kitchen, and I am not really a huge fan of open electric coil stoves. Occasionally I do use the stove-top, but I would much rather prefer the closed ones.

10. So...you're saying

they tasted good, but were a PITA to cut?

[tornado34jh]

11. Well, it's a thin type of bread

So when you cut it, it can be tricky, sometimes I get lucky and get a cut that goes relatively straightforward, other times it cuts parts of it unevenly. I have a bread knife, but again, because it is super thin, it may get in the way. But then again, this is only my second time getting this type of bread. I had it when I was in Orlando for the holidays, but I couldn't figure out how to open it. Normally I get sandwich thins or hamburger buns, but I wasn't able to get them. These ones I got at Publix. Normally I go to Aldi's because it is less expensive.
