Khubz

Khubz is an oven-baked traditional Iraqi bread. You may recognize the shape of khubz when you see it. Yes, it is a flatbread, commonly known as pita by many people. If you only want to eat the bread, that's fine; it's nice enough on its own. However, most Iraqis like to eat bread with something savory. The filling can be placed within the bread or on top. Khubz would go well with chicken, beef, or lamb.

Khubz is a traditional flatbread that is popular throughout the Middle East, especially in Iraq. It's made using the same ingredients as regular bread: flour, yeast, salt, and water. It's circular, 8 inches (20 cm) long, and 1 inch (3 cm) thick. It is distinguished by the air bubbles that form on its surface after baking. Khubz is traditionally baked in a domed clay oven known as a tannour, but it can also be baked in a conventional oven.
