Underground Oven
Maybe you’ve heard of the Armenian traditional bread lavash. If you haven’t, it’s a flat, chewy bread that they make with salt, water and flour. However, the real key to baking lavash to perfection is the special underground earth oven called a tonir! Interestingly enough, lavash can even be stored for about a year without going bad. Often, local women bake in bulk and store lavash to enjoy for months. Basically, if you’re a bread/carb lover, Armenia is for you because they cannot eat a single meal without bread.
