Lavash is a traditional flatbread that originated in the South Caucasus region, particularly in countries like Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey. It is made from simple ingredients such as flour, water, and salt, and is typically baked in a tandoor, which gives it a unique texture and flavor. Lavash is known for its thin, soft, and pliable nature, making it ideal for wrapping various fillings.
This bread is often served with meals or used as a wrap for meats, vegetables, and spreads. In 2014, Lavash was recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, highlighting its cultural significance and the traditional methods of preparation that have been passed down through generations.
