Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large egg
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, xanthan gum, and salt.
Step 3
Add the frothy yeast mixture, olive oil, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Step 4
Lightly flour a clean surface with some gluten-free flour. Turn the dough out onto the surface and knead gently for a few minutes.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
Step 6
Preheat a large skillet or griddle on medium-high heat.
Step 7
Using a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball into a thin oval or circular shape, about 1/8 inch thick.
Step 8
Place the rolled dough onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the lavash bubbles and develops golden brown spots.
Step 9
Remove from the skillet and place on a clean kitchen towel. Cover with another towel to keep the lavash soft.
Step 10
Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Step 11
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
