A minute later you are pulling out something blistered, freckled with black, thin enough to read a newspaper through. Armenians bake it against the searing wall of a clay tonir, and no home oven truly matches that. What a home oven can do, with a screaming-hot steel or baking sheet, is get close enough that you stop buying the shrink-wrapped stuff.</p>Wed, 13 Sep 2023 12:00:00 +0000
