Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop whey protein powder
- 0.5 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 egg white
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, whey protein powder, and salt.
Add the Greek yogurt and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix together using a spoon or your hands until the mixture is crumbly.
Pour the foamy yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for approximately 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Once the dough has risen, divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a thin, oval shape about 1/8 inch thick.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the rolled dough onto it.
Lightly beat the egg white in a small bowl and brush the top of each lavash with it to give a nice glaze.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the lavash is golden brown and crisp.
Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or store in an airtight container to keep fresh.
