Lavash is a paper-thin, pillowy-soft flatbread that's a beloved staple of Middle Eastern cuisine. I've adapted the traditional Armenian method to make a lavash recipe that's easy to accomplish at home. Tender and fragrant, this versatile flatbread is perfect for wraps, dips, alongside soup, meat, fish and more.
Lavash is a thin flatbread, usually leavened, traditionally cooked in a tandoor or in a pan, common in the cuisines of the South Caucasus, Western Asia, and regions bordering the Caspian Sea. Lavash is one of the most common types of bread in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran and Turkey. The traditional recipe can be adapted to the modern kitchen by using a cast iron or wok instead of a tandoor.
