Roti rata

**Roti rata** atau **roti leper** ialah roti yang dibuat dengan tepung, air dan garam, dan kemudian digulung menjadi adunan rata. Banyak roti rata yang tidak beragi—walaupun ada sedikit yang beragi, seperti roti pita. Sepanjang sejarah, banyak jika tidak kebanyakan budaya mempunyai makanan yang boleh dikelaskan sebagai roti rata.

Terdapat banyak ramuan pilihan lain yang boleh dicampur dalam pembuatan roti rata, seperti serbuk kari, potongan dadu jalapeño, serbuk cili, atau lada hitam. Minyak zaitun atau minyak bijan juga boleh ditambah. Roti rata boleh mempunyai ketebalan berjulat dari satu milimeter hingga beberapa sentimeter.

## Sejarah
Pada tahun 2018, serdak roti yang hangus ditemui di tapak Natufia yang dipanggil Shubayqa 1 di Jordan (Harrat ash Shaam, Gurun Hitam) yang berusia dari 12,400 SM, kira-kira 4000 tahun sebelum permulaan pertanian di rantau ini. Analisis menunjukkan bahawa ia mungkin dari roti rata yang mengandungi barli liar, gandum einkorn, oat, dan ubi *[[Bolboschoenus]] glaucus*.
