Description
A classic bread frequently baked in Armenian American communities, katah is sometimes referred to as an “Armenian croissant.” It's flaky, tender, and enriched with plenty of butter. This particular version is inspired by a recipe that was shared with us by a member of our baking community, Tali Gelenian. Tali learned to bake katah at the St. Hagop Armenian Apostolic Church in Racine, Wisconsin, where once a year the bread is made in great quantities for the annual Madagh Armenian picnic. As Tali writes in her blog, this is just one rendition of katah, and in fact there are many more versions found throughout the Caucasus, sometimes under different names.
