Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, and sea salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the warm water and olive oil. Mix with a spoon or your hands until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each into a ball, then flatten and roll out with a rolling pin to form thin oval or rectangular shapes (approximately 8 inches in diameter).
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top of each piece of lavash, lightly pressing them into the dough with your hands.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each lavash for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until bubbles form and golden brown spots appear.
Remove from the skillet and place on a clean kitchen towel. Cover with another towel to keep them soft and warm as you cook the remaining lavash.
Serve the lavash warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for later use.
