Peter's Yard Sea Salt Sourdough Flatbreads, 115g
You break this rather than count it. That changes how it arrives at a table: the pieces come out uneven, and a board built on it looks handmade rather than arranged, which some people want and some people find untidy. Worth knowing which you are before you buy, because there is no tidy version of it: an uneven shard does not start looking deliberate however you turn it on the plate. What the plainness buys you is a second use in the same evening. With no herb, no seed and no fruit in the bake, one pack goes out with cheese at the start and with honey or a soft jam at the end, and neither course argues with the other. A flavoured sheet cannot do that. Salt on top is the only seasoning there is, so the whole weight of the thing sits on the dough. One note on size: a hundred and fifteen grams is a pack for two people at a kitchen table rather than a pack for a room full of them. Wheat, so out for a gluten-free household.
Peter's Yard Sea Salt Sourdough Flatbreads, in brief.
Peter's Yard Sea Salt Sourdough Flatbreads is the plain member of the flatbread pair from the Swedish-style sourdough house, 115g of large snappable sheets, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the board item that never gets in the way.
What you get is a clean lactic sourdough tang, flaked salt in flashes and nothing competing, so it goes under a delicate soft white and a mature blue equally well. Snap the sheets into rough pieces rather than serving them whole.

The Story Behind Peter's Yard
Peter's Yard makes Swedish-style sourdough crispbreads, crackers and flatbreads, and we list several: the Original crispbreads, a rosemary and sea salt cracker, a fig and spelt cracker, the seeded flatbreads and a selection box. Our reading of that range is that it divides into the plain lines, which go under anything, and the flavoured ones, which are built for a particular moment on a board. This is the plain flatbread. That reading is our own editorial assessment against the current pack format and the brand's published description, not a specification handed to us.
No ingredient list, no nutrition panel, no allergen statement and no sheet count, so none of those appears here. Sea salt and sourdough are the words on the pack and that is all we repeat about what is in it.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
What You Are Actually Buying
- Weight: one hundred and fifteen grams.
- Flatbread, not cracker: wide thin sheets to be snapped at the table, which is why a small pack still looks generous laid out on a board.
- Plain by design: the reason to buy this rather than the seeded version. A board item that adds nothing is the one you can put anywhere.
- What it is not: not a free-from line and not a bowl snack.
Ideal Serving Conditions
A plain board item is easy to serve and easy to waste, because the things that spoil it are the things nobody thinks about: the warm room, the runny chutney and the soft bag.
The Board
- Anything on the board: a delicate soft white, a mature cheddar, a blue. This is the sheet that will not contradict any of them, which is what you paid for.
- Break, do not stack: snap the sheets into rough pieces and pile them loosely. Broken edges are the look, and they take a topping better than a flat disc.
- Put them out last: ten minutes on a warm board takes the edge off a wide thin sheet faster than it does a thick oatcake.
- Firm toppings only: there is very little material here between a wet chutney and failure. Spread a soft cheese first if you are building anything in advance.
The Storage Rules
- Airtight on day one: into a rigid tin rather than the opened pack. A wide thin sheet is nearly all surface and it loses its snap quickly.
- Rigid, not a bag: large sheets break under their own weight in a soft container, and whole sheets look far better going on a board.
- Away from the kettle: the air above a kettle is the most humid in the house and the worst place for anything this thin.
- They can be brought back: five minutes in a low oven at about 150C and a few minutes cooling on a rack restores the snap. Cool on the rack, not in the tin.
Getting It Right with a Hot Drink
- Pairing: a plain black tea without milk. Tannin against fat is the oldest pairing there is, and a plain sheet leaves the cup answering the cheese rather than the bread.
- Also good: a black coffee beside a lunchtime plate, where a flavoured flatbread would start competing.
- Avoid: sweet and fruit infusions, which do a lactic sourdough note no favours at all.
- Dunking: no. A thin sourdough sheet gives way at once.

The taste profile
How does it compare
This is the plain sheet that goes under anything, so the builds below make use of that rather than working around a flavour. The cards are the mixed board, the rigid tin, the oven refresh, a smoked salmon plate, a cheese and honey build, and a plain crumb for a bake.
Made with this tea
One Sheet, Every Cheese
How to lay a mixed board with a single flatbread.
- Peter's Yard Sea Salt Sourdough Flatbreads
- A soft white, a mature cheddar and a blue
- A firm pickle
- Snap the sheets into rough pieces and pile them loosely in the middle.
- Arrange the cheeses around them rather than in flavour order, since none of them will be contradicted.
- Add the flatbread last, immediately before the board goes on the table.
- This is the advantage you paid the premium for: one pack serving a board that a flavoured sheet would split in two.
What you'll end up with: A board where every cheese tastes like itself.
The Rigid Tin
How to stop large sheets breaking and softening at once.
- The opened pack
- A rigid airtight tin
- Decant the whole pack on the day you open it.
- Choose rigid over a bag. Large sheets break under their own weight in anything soft.
- Store cool, dry and dark, and not beside the kettle.
- There is no aroma to protect here, so this is purely about the snap and the shape.
What you'll end up with: Whole sheets that still snap a fortnight in.
The Oven Refresh
How to bring the snap back, completely.
- Softened flatbreads
- An oven at 150C
- A cooling rack
- Lay them in a single layer on a baking tray.
- Bake five minutes at about 150C, watching the colour rather than the clock.
- Cool on a rack, not in the tin.
- A plain sheet takes this better than a seeded or herbed one, because there is nothing on the surface to scorch.
What you'll end up with: The snap restored almost exactly, in ten minutes.
Smoked Salmon and Creme Fraiche
How to use a plain sheet where a flavoured one would intrude.
- Flatbreads, snapped into pieces
- Smoked salmon
- Creme fraiche
- Dill, lemon and black pepper
- Spread the creme fraiche first, which is both the flavour and the barrier.
- Fold the salmon on loosely rather than laying it flat, so it does not press the sheet.
- Squeeze the lemon over the salmon, never over the bread.
- The lactic sourdough note and the creme fraiche are in the same register, which is why this works better than it sounds.
What you'll end up with: Canapes that taste of salmon rather than of flatbread.
Blue Cheese and Honey
How to build the pairing a flavoured sheet would spoil.
- 6 pieces of flatbread
- A strong blue cheese
- A very little runny honey
- Walnuts
- Crumble the blue onto the piece rather than spreading it.
- Drizzle honey over the cheese, never over the bare bread, which would soften it.
- Add a walnut half and eat straight away.
- A seeded or herbed sheet fights a blue cheese. A plain one lets it be as loud as it wants.
What you'll end up with: The strongest thing on the board, with nothing arguing underneath it.
A Plain Crumb for a Gratin
How to use the small broken pieces at the bottom of the tin.
- 50g broken flatbread
- 25g melted butter
- 40g grated hard cheese
- Thyme and black pepper
- Crush to a coarse crumb rather than a powder.
- Mix with the butter, cheese, thyme and pepper. A plain crumb takes seasoning where a flavoured one already has its own.
- Scatter over a vegetable gratin and bake at 190C fan for fifteen minutes.
- It browns evenly because it is already dry, and it carries whatever you season it with.
What you'll end up with: An even golden topping seasoned exactly as you wanted it.

Sourcing & blend. Peter's Yard Sea Salt Sourdough Flatbreads, 115g is made by Peter's Yard, a Swedish-style sourdough house whose range runs from plain crispbreads through flavoured crackers to these large flatbread sheets. Our reading of the range is that it divides into the plain lines, which go under anything, and the flavoured ones built for a particular moment on a board; this is the plain flatbread, and that reading is our own editorial assessment rather than a specification handed to us.
What's in Peter's Yard Sea Salt Sourdough Flatbreads, 115g, and what isn't:
- In: one hundred and fifteen grams of large plain sourdough flatbread sheets with salt on the surface, the ingredient list printed on the pack.
- Nothing added for flavour: no seeds, no herbs, no fruit. Plain is the design and the reason to choose this over the seeded version.
- No health or diet claim: sourdough and fermentation attract a great deal of loose talk. We claim no benefit of any kind and quote no calorie, fat, salt or fibre figure.
