I've been waiting for an Armenian pizza like the one I ate in Cali back in 80's. I haven't eaten one since, haven't seen one anywhere else. Seeing you make it gives me hope. I'LL DO IT!
Always such fun watching these videos -- so much inspiration. Of course, as a food historian, I tend to focus a fair bit of my attention on identifying the provenance of the ingredients and figuring when everything might have first come together--and being grateful that so many things from so many places are available to us. So thanks for the fun. (And I do hope you are enjoying yourselves as much as it appears you do.)
Gastronationalists mad in the comments. No one’s saying cultures don’t share and have no influence on each other. Fact that your trying to shut down any idea that lahmacun is important to Armenia is telling.
We made these tonight and they were so good! The video I think made it look more complex than it really was. I couldn’t find biber salcasi so we substituted gochujang (I read online it was an ok substitute) and it was tasty. I love this crust recipe and will be saving it for pizzas!
Love your tutorials. I was first introduced to this by an Armenian elder. She made a wonderful pie! I don't care where everyone says it comes from, I love it by any origin. Mine comes from Ms Mary Miserlian. 💙
U 2 are really amazing & hard workers , when we look at all your fingers they really shows you 2 & the rest of the chefs & Sous-chefs are really hard workers & needs very Special appreciation . GOD Speed💖 😍🥰🌷🌹🥀
"The Armenians brought to Palestine with them their culture and their cuisine throughout the ages, from the first Armenian pilgrims to the refugees who escaped the Genocide. Lahmajun funnily derives from Arabic, "lahm bi ajeen" which means "meat in dough". In colloquial Arabic, we call it often "sfiha armania"...always acknowledging its origin." - Chef Fadi Kattan
Edit: I never claimed it's an Arabic dish, and it doesn't bother me either from where this dish came from 🙂 I’m not sure where this dish was originally comes from, but the name is absolutely Arabic; Lahm لحم means meat Ajun عجين: means dough All cuisines are influenced of one another.
My grandmother from Lebanon made this all the time (although it's similarity to the dish here was mostly in name and concept). Still reminds me of that - she always had a dozen in the freezer.
I used to stop at OST on Mashtots and eat one and drink tan. Then walk down to the Yeritasardakan metro to catch a bus home to Masif. I could easily fall asleep on the bus.😂
Fresh mint, you can also use Italian parsely. Verdolaga also goes well when in season. I sub it with watercress when verdolaga is not available. I eat it in salad bowl, first time I see it on Armenian Pizza. Add some Aleppo pepper or chili powder if you like spicy.
It´s origin is way older than Turkey or Libanon. And food has no nationality only geographic heritage. Lahmacun is from western asia and was adopted from Assyrian cuisine into all cultures that followed in that region. So, it is as Armenian as it is Syrian or Kurdish as well as Lebanese or Turkish and more.
You are right .. the etymology shows Arabic or Levantine origins ..lahm is meat . Ajeen is dough .. so it was from this area and traveled across Middle East
There’s a problem. When I make my bread and put it into the high temperature oven the bread stiffens and less hydration. How do I make the final product softer and less dry
You could add a bowl of water to the oven, just in the bottom, it evaporates and keeps the air at a higher moisture than normal. That prevents the air from pulling too much out of the dough.
I don't believe these dishes can belong to any nation. I mean borders changed, people who make those dishes migrated, they took their culture with them. As a Turkish person i can't say for any dish that it belongs to Turkey. Even tho in Turkey people consume this hell a lot. (It's not exactly same meal as shape, topping wise but people shaped it as they like by time) We just love to embrace things and link them to our nation without knowing the history with all our nationalist sight, without questioning it. If anyone prove me that this dish belongs to any nation with historical sources with siting, i would love to listen and learn and confirm that this dish belongs to that culture with all my respect. (I strongly recommend this channel "Tasting History with Max Miller")

This looks delcious, but far from the traditional form of Armenian Pizza. Though I had made Armenian Pizza with a rising dough and loved it, it is not customary to do so. Also, fresh or perhaps even canned tomatoes are necessary ingredients. Although lamb is used to make Armenian Pizza in many countries outside of USA, and lamb would be authentic, most Armenians living in USA are not used to the gamey flavor of lamb, and most Armenian Pizza in USA is made with beef. Adding the chopped tomato salad probably makes up for the lack of tomatoes in the topping. That happens to be my favorite salad.
Whoever say Armenian 🇦🇲 lahmacin is turkish 🇹🇷 I kindly ask what is really turkish. Language? It's Arabic Farsi Mongolian mixture. Names? Arabic, music? Greek, Arabic, Armenian. Mosques? Byzantine/Greek churches. Even alphabet is Latin. Ottomans stole everything from Arabs 🇸🇾, Armenians 🇦🇲, Greeks 🇬🇷 and Kurdish then tried to turkify everything. Now, the name lahmajun is Arabic because Armenians 🇦🇲 started to make it in middle east after they've been deported from their motherland Armenia to Syria and Lebanon. Even Arabs say that lahmajun, basturma and Sujuk is best made by Armenians. So turks, please stop fascist erdoganism "bizimdir" politics here.
For those who say this food item is Turkish not Armenian, it is FOOD!. No country owns it. People eat it on both sides of the border or in the whole region. Why don't you ask where Shakshouka is from. Most countries in the Middle East will claim it as their own
Dün lavaş, şimdi lahmacun yarın ne var çiğ köfte mi? Şuna emin oldum ki, eğer sen sahip çıkamazsan kıçından donunu bile alıp sahiplenirler. 🇹🇷🇹🇷 Bu arada lahmacun Kenya yemeğidir! Kim neye inanmak isterse....
Totally agree. The pronunciation of the dish is also incorrect. The dish is pronounced ‘la-ham ah-jean’ which translate in Arabic to meat(la-ham) & dough/bread (ah-jean). Not sure if that’s what “lahmajun” is in Armenian.
Lahmacun does not belong to a country, it belongs to a region, but if you want to find out exactly where it originated, you should consult etymology. This word comes from Arabic, originally لحم عجين. In English, it can be translated as meat dough. Since Arabic and Persian letters were used in the Ottoman Empire at that time, the Turks actually got this dish from the Arabs. Thus, it has become a popular dish in the Middle East and Caucasus.
1 Q ? Can we add purified butter since we do not use any vegetable oil can we use bacon fat or WAGYU BEEF TALLOW ?? Thank you for your responce 🌷🌹🥀💝💗💖🌾🍕🍕🍕 9/25/22
So much controversy about it actually being Turkish (it is)! I think in the US there was a huge migration of Armenia people and they of course opened lots of restaurants so they included this on the menu because they probably also love it in Armenia, not to mention its easy and cheap to make so great for a restaurant.
The etymology is Arabic and this showing it’s origins ,, lahm means meat .. ajin dough .. the concept came from the Levant ..( current day Lebanon Syrian Palestine Jordan northern Iraq and southern turkey )it spread across middle East and throughout the Ottoman Empire
Some do because as they lived in Arabic speaking countries. The original name is Lahmajun. Lahm in Arabic means meat. You can say the each county has their own version.
English is nothing but a bunch of German, Latin French, Greek, and some other language words thrown in. English is actually a German language. Armenia was part of the Ottoman Empire so it received the language from the turks (along with the dish)

It's origin from Turkish+Lebanese cuisine , there are different variations in middle east and eastern Europe, this one looks okay
Exactly! They are so common in Turkish restaurants or even shawarma restaurants across Europe. Often eaten as a quick meal or snack like a street food.

@@nathanfarias5779 I think we cant say exactly where it is from but yeah through history and thanks to Ottoman empire many nations share similar sometimes same recipes 👍👍
IF a recipe like this existed, peppercorns were commonly used and then replaced with chilis when they came. Tomatoes are just wet fruit. Anything from mashed flowers to eggplant/aubergine may have been the original ingredient.

@@mjb1475 so Armenians create a dish but they go and use Arabic words for it ,even including it in their own vernacular ,rather than their historical name for their dish ..makes sense … I also have some swamp land to sell in Florida any interest ?
How do you think they got the dish? I mean Pakistan got a lot of food from being under Persian rule. 🙄 The fact it's name is in Arabic is a DEAD GIVE AWAY it isn't Armenian in origin. Like everyone wants to fight over Baklava but it's name originates more in Mongolian flthan any Mediterranean language.

Food and politics are two different things. The original name is Lahmajun. Lahm in Arabic means meat. You can say the each county has their own version.
Yes, but do it objectively. Read Ottoman, Armenian, and impartial historians' research on what's going on in the region. Investigate what a state that struggles for existence and non-existence has done on the eastern border, with Russian support, by the ethnic element, which is described as a loyal nation (millet-i sadıka). The Ottoman Empire was a purely barbaric state, when they were bored, the Armenians were killed when they were bored, the Greeks! He committed such great massacres that he would give to his non-Muslim subjects the privileges that no empire had given their Muslim minorities. Stop bullshit now! I understand better now that; The greatest evil that the Ottomans did was to their own Turkish citizens. The concessions they gave to the minorities and their senseless mercy to the undeserving groups unfortunately became their own end. We had ample time and opportunity for the so-called massacre. And if it had been done as you said at the time, there probably wouldn't even be anyone to talk about it now.
First, not Lahmajun, it's Lahmacun. Second, it's not Armenian fgs, it's originally Turkish. Even it's called Turkish Pizza in Europe. Make some research before u make videos about different cultures. Third and most important one is YOU DON'T ADD CUCUMBER INTO LAHMACUN. THAT'S A BIG SIN!!!! OMG, YOU WILL BE CURSED IF YOU DO THAT IN TURKEY!
They shoot this in Boston. There is a large Armenian community nearby where lahmajun is sold in mom and pop stores. So in Boston it's an Armenian dish.
@@billvegas8146 you still can't call it Armenian though. It's like if i told you that pizza is a Mexican dish in my city, because in my city there's a big community of Mexicans who make and sale pizzas.
@@Corvo131 Armenians don't need food bigotry added to their misery. Every Armenian I ever knew claimed lahmenjun as their own. These types of food fights endure over everything from pizza to pasta and beyond. They are ultimately pointless. There's even a huge debate over who invented The Woopie Pie.
Armenian merchants took the recipe to Lebanon in the 1600's. In Lebanon, it is often called Sfiha Armaniye. In case you are Lebanese, you understand the meaning.
Thanks for stealing this from the Ottoman Turks and have the audacity to make even a dish political. What else can you expect from an Armenian? Please show us how they made noodles, grew their fist Tomatoes 1000s of years ago. Pecan pie… that’s Armenian too.
Pleeeezzz even the name is not Armenian. Lah means meat macun means paste. İt means paste or minced meat. The name is Arabic the spelling is Turkish. Nothing about is Armenian. İt is a staple in our cuisine. I just had one half an hour ago.
lol all these pathetic nationalists complaining about this flatbread being called armenian. it could legitimately be called armenian, and yes, it is also eaten in turkey, lebanon, and other middle eastern places. it's interesting to consider the historical origins of food, almost never from a single place. but once it becomes a personal grievance, it's no longer interesting at all, just sad identity politics.
Sorry but as a Türkısh cypriot who has been living in turkey and has been around the world quite a lot … this is not even entirely Turkish , but belongs to two cities in turkey ; Kilis and gaziantep … food blender absolutely a No no… everything including the meat must be Finley chopped …., sorry but this is not lahmacun … I wonder İf your other recipes are improvised and far form authentic .
Of Coarse you could call this Armenian flat bread . But that ain’t no lahmacun . Far form , maybe someday you’ll eat the real deal , nice try though , obviously underinformed …
I've been waiting for an Armenian pizza like the one I ate in Cali back in 80's. I haven't eaten one since, haven't seen one anywhere else. Seeing you make it gives me hope.

I remember eating those growing up in Lebanon, it's called Lahme be ajeen(meat in dough). It's best served with a squeeze of lemon juice on top.
Yeah, you're right. Real Armenian name is Msalosh (meat and flat bread). Lahmajun is Arabic name, common in all Middle East
I am Armenian and this is the best lamajun recipe. Good job. You’re awesome
You are Arabic if lahmajun is Armenians 😂 Arabic word but like your name😂 Arabic armenian people's

Third and most important one is YOU DON'T ADD CUCUMBER INTO LAHMACUN. THAT'S A BIG SIN!!!! OMG, YOU WILL BE CURSED IF YOU DO THAT IN TURKEY!
Gee, it's almost like Armenians were a significant part of your country's population before you tried to murder them all.
👏🧑🍳🎬🍳🥬
You did noooot just claim Lahmajun to be Armenian. Oh noo ..
They shoot this in Boston. There is a large Armenian community nearby where lahmajun is sold in mom and pop stores. So in Boston it's an Armenian dish.
@@billvegas8146 you still can't call it Armenian though. It's like if i told you that pizza is a Mexican dish in my city, because in my city there's a big community of Mexicans who make and sale pizzas.
@@billvegas8146 İt is like calling tex-mex food mexican. If anything lahmacun is Kurdish but definetlly not Armenian.
@@Corvo131 Armenians don't need food bigotry added to their misery. Every Armenian I ever knew claimed lahmenjun as their own. These types of food fights endure over everything from pizza to pasta and beyond. They are ultimately pointless. There's even a huge debate over who invented The Woopie Pie.
This is sad that the America’s test kitchen didn’t do a good job of researching the origin. It’s not called Armenian flatbread.
lol at commenters claiming it as arabic. much like azerbaijan claims artsakh.
Please get your fact correct. Its is not Armenian. IT is LEBANESE
Armenian merchants took the recipe to Lebanon in the 1600's. In Lebanon, it is often called Sfiha Armaniye. In case you are Lebanese, you understand the meaning.
Lebanese and Turkish
How au currant.
Thanks for stealing this from the Ottoman Turks and have the audacity to make even a dish political. What else can you expect from an Armenian? Please show us how they made noodles, grew their fist Tomatoes 1000s of years ago. Pecan pie… that’s Armenian too.
Pleeeezzz even the name is not Armenian. Lah means meat macun means paste. İt means paste or minced meat. The name is Arabic the spelling is Turkish. Nothing about is Armenian. İt is a staple in our cuisine. I just had one half an hour ago.
lol all these pathetic nationalists complaining about this flatbread being called armenian.
it could legitimately be called armenian, and yes, it is also eaten in turkey, lebanon, and other middle eastern places.
it's interesting to consider the historical origins of food, almost never from a single place. but once it becomes a personal grievance, it's no longer interesting at all, just sad identity politics.
Lahmacun is turkish as kebab !
Sorry but as a Türkısh cypriot who has been living in turkey and has been around the world quite a lot … this is not even entirely Turkish , but belongs to two cities in turkey ; Kilis and gaziantep … food blender absolutely a No no… everything including the meat must be Finley chopped …., sorry but this is not lahmacun … I wonder İf your other recipes are improvised and far form authentic .
