Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

A flatbread is bread typically made with flour, water, and salt, with or without leavening, which are mixed and rolled into flattened dough. They are usually baked quickly at high temperatures and range from below one millimeter to a few centimeters in thickness. Flatbreads are distinguished from other flour-based foods such as loaf breads, which have lower proportions of crust relative to crumb; pancakes, which use liquid batter rather than firm dough; and crackers, which are dry and crisp. Flatbreads are the oldest and most common type of bread, and are often staple foods. Many types of flatbread are eaten globally.
