Armenian Nazook

This is the second challenge given by Jason to the daring bakers. It is the Armenian Nazook/ Nazouk/ Nazuk. It is a yeasted, layer pastry filled with a sweet filling. The outer dough is made of an yeasted dough and the filling has sugar, butter and flour in it. While baking the nazooks, there was a power failure and we got power after 1hour. So I baked them again and they became very crispy. They were also flaky and very delicious. My daughter liked it very much. She also took three pieces to school to share it with her friends. K also took it to office and shared it with his colleagues.

  1. Looks awesome Gayathri…eventhough you had a power failure it didn’t matter looks like…bcoz the nazooks look crispy and just perfect.

  2. Wow! They look good. Would it have made any difference if you had baked it uninterrupted? You should try it and if this better you should spread the word – probably a new baking technique!

  3. Gayathri Ji….hv learned a lot from Ur recipes…and seriously m loving it a lot….Ur breads R also very awesome….before visiting Ur blog I was scared of making breads… But now I happily do it….Thx for Ur recipes….
