message: *** All, I made a few edits (i.e. removed) some south east asian pancake varieties that showed up under flatbreads.  Just a note of clarification to those who originally inserted them, a flatbread is different from a crepe or pancake. A flatbread is made into a dough and then rolled out and cooked on a heated surface (or baked), unlike a crepe or pancake where a somewhat watery dough is prepared and is then "spread" on a heated cooking surface.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4C28:194:520:5E26:AFF:FEFE:8C40 (talk) 18:13, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Religious significance 

message: Someone removed Pancakes from the list stating that they are not a bread. I disagree. They are probably the most familiar type of flatbread in North America. The editor is anonymous and removed several other examples that I also consider flatbreads, like rye crispbread. I suggest that the edits be reverted. Please discuss.

thread_title: Pancakes

message: Description of Flatbread: A flatbread, or unleavened bread, is a simple bread made with flour, water, and salt and then thoroughly rolled into flattened dough.
Description of Pancake: A pancake is a thin, flat, round cake prepared from a batter.
Description of Dough: Dough is a paste made out of any cereals (grains) or leguminous crops by mixing flour with a small amount of water and/or other liquid.
Description of Batter: Batter is a semi-liquid mixture of one or more flours combined with liquids such as water, milk or eggs used to prepare various foods.
Batter is not Dough and Dough is not Batter....Try kneading batter and making Tempura with dough, Doh!

:Really, it is to do with liquid content. A batter is a pourable version whereas a dough is workable by hand. However, there are some very big overlaps. For instance, if you make ciabatta bread, the dough is very wet and you stir it with a spoon - you cannot knead it. Both batters and doughs can be made with yeast or soda and so can be leavened. From the culinary point of view, they are in the same group. Joss (talk) 19:15, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: They are not Flatbreads

thread_title:  Examples section 

message: Alright, I know.  It's bread and it's flat.  But that's a descriptive and not an encyclopedic entity.  This "article" seems to be not much more than a long list of breads that are flat (which is not such a novel shape for bread, anyway).  Other than the shape, there seems to no unifying characteristic for these breads.  (It is like having an article for squarepizza.)  Shouldn't this be a list of flat breads or a category?  —  AjaxSmack  23:03, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

replies: text:  Yes, they very definitely exist as a bread type. Rather important one, historically, since simple flatbreads cooked on the hearthstone next to the fire is probably one of the earliest examples of bread making. Joss (talk) 19:17, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Does "flatbread" actually exist? 

message: I am a little confused by this idea of "slightly leavened". The traditional recipe for pita uses much the same amount of yeast as does most bread. However, it is rolled very thin before baking on a stone, so does not have a chance to rise. Whatever the method, it is leavened bread, not slightly leavened. Joss (talk) 19:08, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
