Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Optional sesame seeds or nigella seeds (for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder.
Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough comes together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball into a thin round or oval shape, approximately 8-10 inches in diameter.
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or nigella seeds on top and gently press them into the dough with the rolling pin.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place one rolled-out piece of dough onto the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear and the lavash puffs slightly.
Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.
Serve the lavash warm or allow them to cool and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
