Armenian Bread

Cultural Context

Armenian bread, particularly Lavash, is a staple of Armenian cuisine, traditionally baked in a tandoor. It serves as a versatile accompaniment to meals, often used to wrap meats and vegetables. This flatbread is celebrated for its thin, soft texture and is integral to cultural rituals and gatherings. In modern times, Lavash has gained popularity beyond Armenia, inspiring variations in many countries.
