Saj bread is a very thin, large (60cm) unleavened flatbread in Turkish and Arab cuisine baked on a convex metal griddle, a saj.[1][2][3]
Saj bread is somewhat similar to markook shrek, but is thinner and larger.[4] In Palestine, the Saj bread was simply called shrāke, differing from the markook which was baked in a clay oven (tannur).[4]
