Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cup all purpose flour, plus more when rolling out
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 cup warm water, plus 1-2 tablespoon more to use when kneading
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt and instant yeast.
- Slowly pour warm water over it. Meanwhile mix it with a fork and then when it gets hard to use the fork, continue mixing it with your hand until everything holds together. This might take 5-10 minutes. Alternatively, use a stand mixer to make the dough.
- Slightly wet the bottom of another bowl with your hand, place the dough in it and wet the surface of it as well. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 40-50 minutes so that it doubles in size.
- Dust the counter with some flour and transfer the lavash dough on it. Deflate the dough, give it a log shape and cut it into 10 pieces. Cover these with a dump kitchen towel to prevent them from drying when you are rolling out one of the patties. Let them rest for 15 minutes before you start rolling them out.
- Heat a non stick pan over medium heat.
- Meanwhile, flour both the surface and one of the dough balls well. Roll it out using a rolling pin as thin as possible. Make sure it fits the pan you are planning to use.
- Carefully place it in the hot pan and cook it for 30 seconds and flip it over using a spatula and cook the other side for 30 seconds. Don’t over-cook, otherwise it will get crispy, not soft and flexible as expected.
- Transfer the cooked lavash bread on a clean kitchen towel and cover it with another kitchen towel. Otherwise, it dries out fast.
- Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Notes
- It is very important that you cover both the uncooked dough balls and the cooked lavash bread. Otherwise, they dry out.
- You can stack the cooked lavash on one another and then cover.
- Don’t overcook the rolled out dough, it gets crispy and hard to wrap otherwise.
