'''Lavash''', also known as '''lahvash''' or '''[[cracker]] bread''', is a soft, thin flatbread made with [[flour]], water, and [[salt]]. It is the most widespread type of bread in Iran, Pakistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. Toasted [[sesame seeds]] and/or [[poppy seeds]] are sometimes sprinkled on it before baking, though this is very uncommon in Armenia. While some wrap breads sold in the United States label themselves as lavash, actual lavash is significantly thinner than those products.
