It is the oldest food prepared by man the bread. All nations, regardless of their culinary traditions, make bread. It is quite different both in appearance and taste. Armenian bread is called lavash.
Excavations have shown that Armenians baked sourdough bread 2,500 years ago. This is no coincidence, Armenian cuisine is one of the oldest on Earth.
Delicious Armenian bread, which is popular around the world today, can be purchased in our country in most stores. It is really very low in calories, it contains only 227 calories in one loaf.
Lavash is practically thin and long cakes that are rolled up like pancakes, and their length can reach half a meter.
This bread, which is interesting for us, is still baked today, as it was 6,000 years ago - in clay ovens. They have the shape of a cylinder and are dug into the ground. They heat up quickly and the layer of dough glued to their walls bakes quickly.
They have a custom in many places in Armenia to prepare lavash for 3-4 months ahead. Flat cakes should be dry, stacked and stored dry. Half an hour before eating, moisten them, cover them with a towel and they become soft again like freshly baked.
Making lavash at home it is not a complicated job and is within the capabilities of any novice cook. Most recipes are with yeast, but if consumed daily, leavening agents can be avoided. This way the bread will be completely dietary. Here is the recipe for this easy and nutritious Armenian temptation.
Necessary products:
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons oil or olive oil
Pinch of salt
About 180 milliliters of water
Preparation:
Pour the flour, salt and fat into a deep bowl. Add the water and knead a medium dough - neither sticky nor too hard. It should be smooth and pleasant to the touch.
It is divided into 8 equal balls. Cover with a towel and leave for half an hour.
For baking bread it is good to use a wide pan with a non-stick coating. Place on a moderate heat to heat slightly.
At this time, the first loaf is rolled out into a thin crust, flouring the countertop so that it does not stick when grinding. Bake the crust in the pan for about half a minute on the underside and then turn and bake on top.
At this time, the second is rolled out and so on until they are finished. During baking, they swell, although the dough does not contain leavening agents. Such cakes are for dietary nutrition.
