Yes you can!
I freeze pita bread and Naan bread all of the time. Freezing any dense bread should work well. Just be very careful about freezer burn.
Thawing is the most important part. Place the bread in a plastic bag and leave it on the counter to thaw. The bag will "recycle" the moisture that escapes as the bread thaws to ensure that it tastes fresh and maintains it's origional texture.

Our family is from India and thus we consume a lot of breads in the Pita family. Naturally we try to buy as much as we can when it is on sale. Here are the steps we use to freeze the bread and use it when required:
1. We buy wax paper and put sheets in between each piece of bread. It keeps the freezer burn away and makes it easy to remove one or two pieces when necessary instead of the whole package.
2. When removing from the freezer, they must be thawed out at room temperature. However, you can sprinkle a few drops of water on them and throw them in the microwave to thaw out...this way the bread does not dry out and it thaws quickly.
3. We generally heat these types of bread up on a stove stop flat pan. A few drops of water on both sides helps to insure that they do not dry out when being heated for consumption.
Hope that helps somewhat...
