Question: is flat bread the same as pita bread

Answer: Yes, Flat breads rarely appear in Greek cuisine; the Greek word pita means ``pastry''. Various cakes and pastries are pitas, such as spanakopita (spinach pie) and karydopita (walnut cake). Traditional breads in Greek cuisine are leavened loaves, such as the round καρβέλι karvéli or the oblong φραντζόλα frantzóla. The full name of the flat bread known in English as pita bread is aravikē pita (lit. 'Arabic pastry'), though it is also called simply ``pita''. In Greece, pita bread is almost exclusively used as a component of pita-souvlaki sandwich consisting of souvlaki or gyros with tzatziki, tomatoes, onions, french fries, and condiments stuffed into a pita bread pocket.
