flat breads

Unleavened baked rounds

Flat breads are breads made without leavening or with minimal rise, resulting in thin, flat loaves rather than puffy ones.

The category spans many traditions: Indian naan and roti, Middle Eastern pita, Mexican tortillas, Italian focaccia.

They're often used as edible utensils for scooping or wrapping other foods.

Also spelled as one word: flatbreads.
