Ingredients
- 300 grams all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor)
- 180 milliliters lukewarm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, for mild sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon dry active yeast
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the lukewarm water, sugar (if using), and dry active yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Step 3
Add the olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with a spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 5
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 7-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 6
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Step 7
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6 equal portions.
Step 8
Roll each portion into a thin, round or oval sheet using a rolling pin. Aim for about 2-3mm thickness for a traditional lavash texture.
Step 9
Preheat a large, dry skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 10
Cook each lavash on the hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown spots appear and the bread puffs slightly.
Step 11
Stack the cooked lavash on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft and warm.
Step 12
Serve warm or at room temperature. Lavash can be paired with dips, wrapped around fillings, or enjoyed on its own!
