It has been suggested that this article be merged into pita. (Discuss) Proposed since November 2014.
Khubz, khoubz or khobz (Arabic: خبز), the Arabic word for bread, is usually used by non-Arabic speakers to refer to the flatbread also known as pita that forms a staple of the local diet from the Arabian Peninsula to Morocco and also in Israel where there is a large community of Iraqi Jews.
Khubz was traditionally baked in a tannuur, and six recipes for khubz made in this way are included in Ibn Sayyar al-Warraq's 10th century Kitab al-Tabikh cookery book.[1]
