Taboon bread (Arabic: خبز طابون) is a Middle Eastern flatbread. It is also called (Hebrew: לאפה) la-fah, (Hebrew: פיתה עירקית) Iraqi pita, and in Jerusalem: (Hebrew: אַשתנוּר) ash-tanur.[1] Taboon bread is 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]
