Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix them thoroughly.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and slowly pour in the warm water and olive oil.
Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until a rough dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Shape the kneaded dough into a ball and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes at room temperature. This resting period allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll out.
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
On a floured surface, roll out one dough ball into a very thin, round sheet, approximately 10 inches in diameter. The dough should be almost translucent.
Carefully transfer the rolled dough onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until you see bubbles forming and golden brown spots.
Repeat the rolling and cooking process with the remaining dough balls, adding more flour to your surface if needed to prevent sticking.
As the lavash are cooked, stack them on a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep them warm and pliable.
Serve warm or store wrapped in a clean cloth or airtight container to keep them soft.
