What it is
This is a type of flatbread, often round and leavened. It is baked at a high temperature, which causes it to puff up and form an internal pocket. This characteristic makes it ideal for filling. The texture is typically soft and slightly chewy, with a mild flavor that complements many dishes. It is a staple in many cuisines, appreciated for its versatility and ease of use in everyday meals.

To enjoy this bread warm, you can lightly toast it in a dry pan over medium heat for a minute or two on each side until it is soft and pliable. Alternatively, it can be briefly warmed in an oven or microwave. Once warmed, you can carefully slice it open to create a pocket for your chosen fillings, such as grilled meats, vegetables, or cheese. It can also be served whole as an accompaniment to soups, salads, or main courses, perfect for scooping up sauces.
