While other bakers were utilizing sheeters to rollout dough and then ‘die cut’ the individual breads, Evris accepted the challenge of making flatbread the ‘old fashion way’ . . . making individual dough-balls and then, hand-stretching each loaf. This produced a fluffier bread that proved to be extremely flexible. The introduction of the hand-stretched Kontos Pocket-Less Pita™ followed and was received with great favor by the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern communities. With research into food history, it was determined that with modifications, this process could be applied to flatbread making not only for Mediterranean breads, but to those of South Central Asia. After extensive testing of formulations and focus group taste-testing, Kontos introduced a complete line of Central Asian flatbread (naan). Immediately, ethnic specialty stores (Indian, Pakistani, and Afghan) featured Kontos Brand Nan on their shelves.
