Durums are a type of flatbread also known as pita or lavash. There are several synonyms for the word durums, including Arabic bread, Syrian bread, Middle Eastern bread, and Turkish bread. These variations are typically thicker and fluffier than traditional pita. In Greece, it is called "φλατζούνα" (flatzouna) and in Bulgaria it is called "щипка" (schipka). Other variations may have additional ingredients such as herbs, spices, or cheese mixed into the dough. Regardless of its name or variant, durums are a staple in many cultures and are often used as a vessel for dips, spreads, and meats.
