Armenian Lavash

6 servings

90 minutes

Armenian lavash is a traditional thin bread and a symbol of Armenian cuisine known since ancient times. Its delicate texture, lightness, and airiness make it versatile: it serves as a base for sandwiches, wrapping fillings, and even as a substitute for utensils. Lavash pairs wonderfully with meat and vegetable dishes, perfectly absorbing their juices and aromas. It is made from simple ingredients—flour, water, yeast, and oil—making it accessible and easy to reproduce. Thin flatbreads baked at high temperatures acquire a tender crispness with a light golden crust. In Armenian families, lavash always holds an honored place on the table, accompanying traditional treats and creating an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality.
