Phitti is a type of leavened bread baked by Hunzakut and Nagarkutz People of Hunza and Nagar, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. [1]

Preparation involves mixing flour, water, salt, butter and yeast, with other ingredients such as milk being added depending on personal taste. [1] The dough thus prepared is placed in a metallic vessel called a Khimishdon in Burushaski and placed in a hearth which is preheated with a wooden fire. [2] Alternatively, phitti can also be baked in an oven.

Phitti is eaten with butter during breakfast, as a snack or light lunch along with a salted cup of tea. [1]
