Taboon bread (Arabic: خبز طابون) or Lafah/Lafa (Arabic: لفة) is a Middle Eastern flatbread. In Israel it is also called láfa (Hebrew: לאפה) or Iraqi pita (Hebrew: פיתה עיראקית), and in Jerusalem sometimes esh-tanur (Hebrew: אַשתנוּר).[1]
It is used as a wrap used in many cuisines. This type of flatbread is traditionally baked in a Tabun oven and eaten with different fillings.[2]
Taboon bread is sold as street food, stuffed with hummus, falafel or shaved meat.[3] Taboon bread is a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine worldwide.[4]
