Ingredients

• 500 grams all-purpose flour
• 300 ml warm water
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 tsp sugar
• 0.5 tsp salt substitute (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast and sugar in 100 ml of the warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and, if using, the salt substitute. Create a well in the center.

Step 3

Pour the frothy yeast mixture, the remaining warm water, and olive oil into the well of the flour.

Step 4

Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until a rough dough forms.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add small amounts of flour if needed to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to expel the air. Divide it into 6 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.

Step 9

On a floured surface, roll out each ball into a very thin oval or circle, about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the rolled dough onto a piece of parchment paper or a flour-dusted peel.

Step 11

Bake the lavash one at a time on the preheated baking sheet or stone for about 5 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
