Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Sesame seeds or nigella seeds (for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the olive oil and warm water.
Mix the ingredients together using a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough starts to form.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into the bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and let it rest for 30 minutes to one hour.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball.
Preheat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
On a floured surface, roll out one dough ball into a thin, round sheet (about 10 inches in diameter).
Once the pan is hot, place the rolled-out dough onto the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles form, then flip and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Stack cooked lavash on a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft.
Optional: If using seeds, sprinkle them on the dough before cooking and press gently to adhere.
Serve warm with your favorite dips, fillings, or stews. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
