Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and freshly ground black pepper.
Gradually add the water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough comes together into a ball.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 2 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into two equal portions for easier handling.
Using a rolling pin, roll out one portion of the dough as thinly as possible (around 1 mm thick) while keeping the shape rectangular or circular as preferred.
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the prepared baking sheet and use a fork to prick the surface all over to prevent the dough from puffing up during baking.
If using optional toppings, sprinkle sesame seeds or nigella seeds over the dough and gently press them in with your fingertips.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the lavash is golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. The lavash will crisp up further as it cools.
Repeat the rolling, topping, and baking process with the second portion of the dough.
Break into pieces or leave whole, and serve with your favorite dips or enjoy as is!
