flatbreads
Pitas and naans
Flatbreads is the plural of flatbread, a category of breads made without leavening or with minimal rise—thin, flat, and often unleavened.
The category spans cultures: tortillas, naan, pita, chapati, lavash, roti.
Flatbreads are typically cooked quickly on a griddle or in a hot oven: We ordered hummus with warm flatbreads.
