Ingredients

• 3 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Nigella seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.

Step 2

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the olive oil. Slowly pour in the warm water while mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat a large, dry cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a very thin oval or round sheet, about 1/16 of an inch thick.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds and nigella seeds on top of each lavash sheet and press them gently to stick.

Step 8

Cook each lavash on the hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side, or until bubbles form, and the bread develops golden brown spots. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

Step 9

Transfer cooked lavash to a clean kitchen towel and cover to keep it soft and warm while you cook the remaining dough.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite Mediterranean accompaniments, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
