Breakfast: լավաշ (Lavash) – Traditional Armenian Flatbread

Breakfast լավաշ (Lavash) is the soul of Armenian cuisine—a thin, soft flatbread baked in a tonir (clay oven) and used to wrap, scoop, or accompany nearly every meal. It’s a staple on the Armenian breakfast table, often served with cheese, herbs, and fresh vegetables. At MUNCH CLASSES, you’ll learn how to roll, stretch, and bake Lavash using both traditional and modern methods.

Lavash has been part of Armenian identity for centuries and is even recognized by UNESCO as part of Armenia’s intangible cultural heritage. The Armenian proverb “Լավաշը սեղանի թագուհին է” (“Lavash is the queen of the table”) reflects its revered status. At MUNCH CLASSES, you’ll explore the communal rituals of Lavash-making and how this bread connects generations of Armenian women through shared labor and love.
