What is Tandoor lavash?
Tandoor lavash is a thin flatbread made from a simple flour dough, usually with water and salt, and baked against the hot inner wall of a tandoor. It belongs to the bread-making traditions of eastern Anatolia and neighbouring regions, with recipes varying from place to place. The bread is flexible when fresh, with a pale surface, toasted patches and small bubbles from the high-heat baking.
Use it for wraps, to scoop up stews, or alongside grilled foods; in Turkey it may also appear at breakfast with cheese, olives and tea. It is low in fat and derives most of its energy from carbohydrates. For a lighter meal, fill it with vegetables and lean protein rather than a rich sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tandoor lavash
What is tandoor lavash?
Tandoor lavash is a thin, flexible flatbread baked against the hot inner wall of a tandoor oven. Its lightly blistered surface and soft texture make it useful for wrapping fillings or serving alongside meals.
How is tandoor lavash traditionally made?
Tandoor lavash is made by rolling dough into thin ovals and sticking the pieces to the heated inside of a tandoor. They bake quickly, developing toasted patches and bubbles before being removed with a hook or tool.
Is tandoor lavash the same as naan?
No, tandoor lavash is usually thinner and more flexible than naan. Both can be baked in a tandoor, but naan is generally thicker and softer, while lavash is suited to folding around fillings.
How do you keep tandoor lavash from cracking when making wraps?
Warm tandoor lavash briefly before filling it; cold or dried-out pieces are more likely to crack. If it still feels stiff, lightly dampen the surface and heat it covered for a few seconds to restore flexibility.
What fillings work well in tandoor lavash?
Tandoor lavash works well with grilled vegetables, kebab, falafel, or sliced meat, plus a sauce or spread. Avoid overfilling it, and place wetter ingredients in the middle so the bread is less likely to tear.
Can you freeze tandoor lavash?
Yes, tandoor lavash freezes well. Separate the pieces with parchment, seal them in a freezer-safe bag, and thaw them covered so they do not dry out; briefly warm the bread before serving.
How should you store tandoor lavash after opening the package?
Keep tandoor lavash in a sealed bag or airtight container at room temperature, away from moisture and direct heat. Leaving it exposed can make it dry and brittle, while trapped dampness can encourage mold.
How do you reheat tandoor lavash without making it hard?
Heat tandoor lavash briefly in a covered skillet or wrap it in foil in a warm oven. A little trapped moisture helps keep it pliable; prolonged heating dries it out and makes it stiff.
Does tandoor lavash need yeast?
No, tandoor lavash does not always need yeast; recipes vary. Some use yeast and allow the dough to rise, while others rely on a simple flour-and-water dough, producing a flatter, less airy bread.
What is the best way to serve tandoor lavash at a meal?
Serve tandoor lavash warm beside grilled dishes, soups, or dips, or use it to scoop and wrap food. Keeping the bread covered at the table helps it stay soft while the meal is being served.
