A flatbread is a type of bread typically prepared from a firm dough of flour, water, and salt, which is rolled into a flattened shape. It can be made with or without leavening and is usually baked quickly at high temperatures, resulting in a thickness ranging from less than a millimeter to a few centimeters. Distinguished from loaf breads, pancakes, and crackers by its firm dough and specific texture, flatbreads are considered the oldest and most common type of bread, often serving as staple foods globally.
