Achma from lavash

8 servings

75 minutes

Achma made from lavash is a simple yet incredibly delicious variation of Georgian pie that combines the lightness of the dough and the tenderness of cheese. Unlike traditional achma, this recipe uses thin Armenian lavash, making preparation even easier and quicker. Kefir adds softness to the dough, while Adyghe cheese provides a pleasant creamy flavor. Baked in the oven until golden brown, achma acquires an appetizing aroma and texture with a crispy top and tender layers inside. This dish is perfect for breakfast, cozy family dinners, or festive tables, especially when paired with a cup of hot tea.
