Oral history

The thin bread of the tannur

Lavash is not a recipe so much as a temperature. Anahit knows the oven is ready when the wall is too hot for the back of the hand and not yet angry. The dough is flour, water, a little salt. A handful until it feels right. She drapes it over a cushion, then onto the wall. Seconds. If you wait for a timer you have a cracker. She has seen thin breads in other places with other names. She does not collect names. She collects the moment the bread comes off in one piece.
