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.

Recipe provided by:

Allrecipes

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.
 
2. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar and salt. Add water, 1 egg white and melted butter; mix well to make a stiff dough. Knead until dough is smooth, about 5 minutes.
 
3. Divide dough into 10 balls. Roll each ball on lightly floured surface until paper thin. Place on ungreased baking tray. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
 
4. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until browned.

    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.
