For the Dough:
  • 3 cups (375 g) all purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 packet (2½ tsp, or 7 g) active dry yeast
  • 8 oz (227 g) sour cream
  • 2 sticks (227 g) softened butter (room temperature) 
For the Filling:
  • 1½ cups (188 g) all purpose flour, sifted
  • 1½ cup (338 g) sugar
  • 1½ stick (170 g) softened butter (room temperature)
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1-2 egg yolks (for the wash; alternatively, some yogurt, egg whites, or a whole egg)
Instructions
  1. Make the Pastry Dough: Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add the dry yeast, and mix it in. Add the sour cream and butter.
  2. Use your hands to work it into a dough.
  3. Continue to knead for about 10 minutes until the dough no longer sticks to the bowl or your hands. If it remains very sticky, add some flour, a little at a time.
  4. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 3-5 hours.
  5. Make the Filling: Mix together the flour, sugar, and butter. Add the vanilla extract.
  6. Mix the filling until it looks like clumpy, damp sand.
  7. Make the Nazook: Cut the refrigerated dough into quarters.
  8. Form one of the quarters into a ball. Dust your working surface with a little flour.
  9. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle or oval. The dough should be thin, but not transparent.
  10. Spread ¼ of the filling mixture across the rolled-out dough in an even layer.
  11. From one of the long sides, start slowly rolling the dough across. Roll all the way across until you have a long, thin loaf.
  12. Pat down the loaf with your palm and fingers so that it flattens out a bit (just a bit).
  13. Apply your egg yolk wash with a pastry brush.
  14. Use a knife to cut the loaf into 10 equally-sized pieces. Put onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
  15. Place in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 30 minutes, until the tops are a rich, golden brown.

The name khash originates from the Armenian verb khashél , which means "to boil." The dish, initially called khashoy, is mentioned by a number of medieval Armenian authors, e.g. Grigor Magistros , Mkhitar Heratsi , Yesayi Nchetsi, etc.
Khash is a purist meal with great parsimony in ingredients. The feet are depilated, cleaned, kept in cold water in order to get rid of bad smell, and boiled in water all night long, until the water has become a thick broth and the meat has separated from the bones. No salt or spices are added during the boiling process. The dish is served hot. One may add salt, garlic, lemon juice, or vinegar according to one's tastes. Dried lavash is often crumbled into the broth to add substance. Khash is generally served with a variety of other foods, such as hot green and yellow peppers, pickles, radishes, cheese, and fresh greens such as cress. The meal is almost always accompanied by vodka and mineral water.]]> 2017-01-21 16:37:17 UTC https://padlet.com/arminsafaryan/e8o2rp133ymf/wish/148521225 Armenian round Gata ghazaryan_mary https://padlet.com/arminsafaryan/e8o2rp133ymf/wish/150069683 2017-01-29 06:05:42 UTC https://padlet.com/arminsafaryan/e8o2rp133ymf/wish/150069683 ARMENIAN KYUFTA https://padlet.com/arminsafaryan/e8o2rp133ymf/wish/150076120
