Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, and sea salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the warm water and olive oil. Mix with a spoon or your hands until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each into a ball, then flatten and roll out with a rolling pin to form thin oval or rectangular shapes (approximately 8 inches in diameter).

Step 5

If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top of each piece of lavash, lightly pressing them into the dough with your hands.

Step 6

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each lavash for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until bubbles form and golden brown spots appear.

Step 7

Remove from the skillet and place on a clean kitchen towel. Cover with another towel to keep them soft and warm as you cook the remaining lavash.

Step 8

Serve the lavash warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for later use.
