Yufka bread (Turkish: yufka ekmeği) is the Turkish name of a very thin, large (60 cm [24 in]) unleavened flatbread in Turkish cuisine, also known under different names in Arab cuisine, baked on a convex metal griddle, called saj in Arabic and saç in Turkish.
Arab saj bread is somewhat similar to markook shrek, but is thinner and larger.
In Palestine, the saj bread is simply called shrāke, differing from the markook, which is baked in a clay oven (tannur).
In Cyprus, it is known as pitta saji. It is eaten as a snack. The dough is lightly sweetened with honey and cinnamon.
