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.
I can watch Bridget all day!
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!
Why name it like it belongs to a country, this is famous all over middle east countries.
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.
yes yes spread the word, the more folks making Lahmajun the better!
We often eat it with yogurt in lavant as opposed to that salad…
Could you use some bread flour in with your AP to get the right gluten ratio?

Julia says ‘a lot going on here’ yeah…like $120 ?? Who can reasonably make this at home?
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.
Since when Lahmajun belongs to armeninan cuisine ? You guys just n.tsss
You don't usually see any salad placed on top of the lahmajo in Armenia but that is pretty interesting. Usually just a squeeze of lemon.
"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
4:31 Biber salçası 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷 🖐
Armenian? 🤣😂🤣😃😀😄🤣 Check your facts before next time
Don't be deceived by its Arabic name (lahm: meat, ajina: paste), this is an Armenian dish!? 🤣
Turkish people rn:
Actually it is an Arabic dish with an Arabic name which later became famous in Turkiye and Greece
This is a great episode! Thanks. I will definitely give this a go.
Lahmajun or Lamajo ( in Eastern Armenian) + tan = yum-yummy!!!!
Spaghetti is armenian too😂 is that lahmacun really ?
