Originated in Western Asia, most probably Mesopotamia around 2500 BC, Khubz, the Arabic word for bread, is usually used to refer to the oven-baked flatbread also known as pita. Khubz is a traditional Middle Eastern Bread that is considered the foundation of many famous Arabic and Iraqi dishes. During a traditional Iraqi meal, for instance, Khubz often replaces utensils such as forks or spoons as it is used to scoop up meat, vegetables, sauces, dips and more.
