Ingredients

• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 300 milliliters Warm water
• 10 grams Salt
• 7 grams Yeast

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.

Step 2

Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture. Gradually pour in the yeast-water mixture, mixing with your hands or a wooden spoon until the dough comes together.

Step 4

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough back into the bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to its highest setting (around 250°C or 482°F). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a cloth to prevent them from drying out.

Step 8

On a floured surface, roll each dough ball into a thin oval shape, approximately 2-3 millimeters thick.

Step 9

Once the oven is preheated, carefully place the rolled-out dough onto the hot pizza stone or directly onto the oven racks. Bake for about 3-4 minutes or until bubbles form and the edges start to lightly brown.

Step 10

Remove the lavash from the oven and wrap it in a clean cloth to keep it soft. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.

Step 11

Serve the lavash warm with dips, as a wrap, or alongside your favorite meal.
