The picture is of flatbreads (there are many kinds of flatbreads). flatbread is a kind of bread, like baguettes, chapatis, Syrian bread, pita bread, rolls, etc. etc. etc. | |
| Apr 9, 2019 at 15:29 | comment | added | 8bittree | @Lambie Being able to apply a more specific term to something does not mean that the more general term does not also apply. Stating that a truck is not a vehicle is factually incorrect. It is a vehicle, and it is more specifically a truck. | |

| Apr 9, 2019 at 8:41 | comment | added | Ivo | if you would describe flatbread you would most certainly start with "flatbread is a bread ... ". so I would definitely say it is a bread | |
| Apr 9, 2019 at 8:27 | comment | added | Michael Kay | There are contexts where you can talk of "a bread" ("Pumpernickel is a bread made in Germany from coarsely ground rye") - but it means "a kind of bread". | |
| Apr 8, 2019 at 21:59 | comment | added | Lambie | @NickA It is not a bread or a loaf. It is bread, flatbread. It is a type of bread. The devil is in the detail. | |
| Apr 8, 2019 at 19:30 | comment | added | user75908 | "Is it bread, loaf, or dough?" "none of those." - Is a flatbread not a bread? I would certainly say it is | |
