Bread
Yufka bread (Turkish: yufka ekmeği) is the Turkish name of a very thin, large (60 cm [24 in]) unleavened flatbread in Turkish cuisine, also known under different names in Arab cuisine, baked on a convex metal griddle, called saj in Arabic and saç in Turkish.[1][2][3]
Arab saj bread is somewhat similar to markook shrek, but is thinner and larger.[4]
In Palestine, the saj bread is simply called shrāke, differing from the markook, which is baked in a clay oven (tannur).[4]
Stuffed bread
Gözleme is a savory, soft Turkish stuffed flatbread, cooked on the convex saç.[5][6]
Indian sub-continent
Tava roti bread
Tava roti is a roti cooked on a tava.
