  • Serves: 10
  • Yield: 10 flat breads
  • Ready in: 1 hour 15 mins (15 mins Prep - 1 hour Cook)
Lavash is an unleavened flat bread popular in Armenia, Iran and Turkey. It is traditionally cooked in a tandoor, but you can use your oven! Great alternative to wraps and naan.

Ingredients

  • 300g (11 oz) plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 150ml (5 fl oz) water
  • 1 egg white
  • 30g (1 oz) butter, melted
  • 2 egg whites, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Preparation method

  1.   Preheat oven to 200 C / Gas mark 6.

    Tweak: MERDE60 Something else:

    I've made this dozens of times and always to many rave reviews. I have substituted dried rosemary for the sesame seeds and added a bit of coarse salt on top. Using a pasta machine makes rolling the dough very thin much easier.

    Review: MICHELLETINKER

    Just like crackers. They do need to be rolled out very thin and even. I sprinkled salt on one batch, sesame on another and pepper on the last. They were all great. I drew lines with a knife where I wanted the giant 'cracker' to break after being baked and it worked great.
