Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 180 ml Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds or nigella seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the water and olive oil.
Using your hands or a wooden spoon, mix the ingredients together until a dough begins to form.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into the mixing bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
After the dough has rested, divide it into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls.
Preheat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
On a floured surface, roll out one dough ball into a very thin round or oval shape, about 10 to 12 inches in diameter.
Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to the preheated skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form and light brown spots develop on the underside.
Flip the lavash and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove the cooked lavash and repeat with the remaining dough balls. Stack the breads on top of each other and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft.
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or nigella seeds onto the dough before rolling it out for added flavor and texture.
Serve the lavash bread warm or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
