Instructions

  1. Mix the flour, yeast and salt, then add the lukewarm water and oil.
  2. Knead for 10 minutes until you have a smooth, elastic dough.
  3. Cover and leave to rest for 45 minutes at room temperature.
  4. Divide the dough into 4 pieces and roll each into a very thin disc, about 2 mm thick.
  5. Heat a large frying pan or griddle over high heat with no fat.
  6. Cook each lavash for 1 to 2 minutes per side until it puffs up and browns in spots, then keep them covered with a tea towel.

Variations and tips

Oven version. Spread the dough on a tray and bake at 240 °C for 5 to 6 minutes for a crispier lavash.
