lavash

Lavash is characterized by its extreme thinness and flexibility, often used as a wrap or a side accompaniment to dips. In culinary contexts, it is distinguished from other flatbreads by its unleavened nature and the specific traditional methods of baking it against the walls of a tonir oven.

As a mass noun referring to a type of food, it is typically treated as uncountable. When referring to individual pieces, speakers use partitive constructions such as "a sheet of lavash" or "a piece of lavash" rather than pluralizing the word itself.
