Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 10 grams Salt
- 7 grams Yeast
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture. Gradually pour in the yeast-water mixture, mixing with your hands or a wooden spoon until the dough comes together.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into the bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to its highest setting (around 250°C or 482°F). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a cloth to prevent them from drying out.
On a floured surface, roll each dough ball into a thin oval shape, approximately 2-3 millimeters thick.
Once the oven is preheated, carefully place the rolled-out dough onto the hot pizza stone or directly onto the oven racks. Bake for about 3-4 minutes or until bubbles form and the edges start to lightly brown.
Remove the lavash from the oven and wrap it in a clean cloth to keep it soft. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.
Serve the lavash warm with dips, as a wrap, or alongside your favorite meal.
