Shawarma bread, is a thin, soft, and flexible flatbread (pita) ideal for wraps, featuring a central pocket formed during high-heat cooking. Typically made from flour, yeast, sugar, salt, oil, and water, it is rolled thin, cooked on a skillet for 30–60 seconds per side, and kept warm in a cloth to remain pliable.
