Lavash
Lavash (or Lawash , Persian ﻟﻮﺍﺶ Lavāsch , DMG lavas , Armenian լավաշ lavash , Kurdish Nane Sele , Azeri and Turkish lavas ) is an unleavened flatbread , which mainly in the Armenian , Azerbaijani , Turkish , Kurdish and Persian cuisine , as well as in Georgia is used. The dry lavash is used as a host in the Armenian church .
Manufacturing
The three ingredients of the original recipe are just flour , salt and water . The dough was placed on the hot surfaces of the oven and spread out into smaller flatbreads or into very large ones with a diameter of up to 40 cm. It is considered the most eaten bread in Armenia ("Armenian flatbread") and in Iran ("Persian flatbread"). A similar version of this bread exists in the United States, but it is a little softer to wrap food in. Freshly made lavash is easy to shape, but it dries quickly and then becomes crispy. That is why fresh lavash is also designed as a wrap or used as a rolled kebab shell ( called Dürüm in Turkey ). Special Lawasch bakeries also exist in German-speaking countries.
UNESCO
In November 2014, the UN cultural organization UNESCO decided in Paris to officially declare traditional Armenian lavash an intangible world cultural heritage .
