Roti pipih

Roti pipih adalah sebuah roti yang dibuat dengan tepung, air dan garam, dan kemudian dibentuk menjadi adonan datar. Beberapa roti pipih dibuat tanpa ragi meskipun beberapa menggunakan ragi, seperti roti pita.

Terdapat beberapa bahan opsional lainnya yang dimasukkan dalam roti pipih, seperti bubuk kari, jalapeño, bubuk cabai, atau lada hitam. Minyak zaitun atau biji wijen juga ditambahkan. Roti pipih berukuran tebal dari satu milimeter sampai beberapa sentimeter.

Roti pipih dikenal di Mesir Kuno dan Sumeria. Di Mesopotamia kuno (sekarang Irak), bangsa Sumeria menemukan bahwa biji-bijian pangan dapat ditumbuk menjadi sebuah pasta dan kemudian dipanggang menjadi sebuah roti pipih.

Roti tak beragi (seperti matzoh yang tidak disajikan dengan ragi) biasanya adalah roti pipih dan memegang peran keagamaan istimewa pada pengikut Yudaisme dan Kekristenan.
