882.0. "Lavosh" by CSC32::MANESS () Wed Dec 16 1987 13:16

    Does anyone have a recipe for LAVOSH? None of my
    cookbooks has it and none of my friends cookbooks
    has the recipe for it. The cheese used is havarti
    and ramano, its the bread part I'm not sure how
    to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Michele, I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for,
    but upon checking with my Armenian sister-in-law she says the following
    sounds real similar.
    
                            ARMENIAN THIN BREAD

    From:  TREASURED ARMENIAN RECIPES
    Published by:  The Detroit Women's Chapter of the Armenian General
                   Benevolent Union, Inc.
    
    
    
    5 lbs. flour
    2 T. salt
    1 T. sugar
    1 C. melted butter
    4 C. lukewarm water
    1 yeast cake, dissolved
    
    
    
    Make a dough with all of the ingedients.  Knead well.  Let the dough
    stand, covered, in a warm place for four hours, to rise.  Then divide
    dough into sixteen balls the size of a small orange.  Roll out each
    ball with a little flour sprinkled now and then to prevent sticking.
    Use the long type rolling pin.  Roll out as wide as the width of
    your oven.  With the dough still on your rolling pin, take it to
    your heated oven, spread it out over the bottom plate and bake at
    350 degrees.  Bake until slightly brown, or as much as you like
    it done.
    
    This dry bread may be stored away for weeks in a dry place.
    
    When serving, wet as much as you need by holding the pieces under
    the running water.  This softens the bread.
    
    Very good with cheese or other appetizers.  If the bread has lost
    its crispness, warm it in the oven first before wetting.

   
    
    (Keep in mind, this recipe book was published in 1949.)
