Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 120 grams Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 120 milliliters Water
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
Instructions
Begin by whisking together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix the non-fat Greek yogurt, water, and olive oil until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until a rough dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or flat griddle over medium-high heat.
On a well-floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, approximately 10-12 inches in diameter.
Carefully place one rolled-out dough on the preheated skillet. Cook for about 1 minute until bubbles form on the surface and the underside is lightly golden.
Flip the lavash and cook the other side for another 30-45 seconds.
Remove the lavash from the skillet and place it on a clean kitchen towel, covering it to keep it soft and pliable.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Once all the lavash is cooked, serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
