Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 scoop whey protein powder
• 0.5 cup warm water
• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 egg white

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is active.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, whey protein powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the Greek yogurt and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix together using a spoon or your hands until the mixture is crumbly.

Step 4

Pour the foamy yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for approximately 30 minutes or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.

Step 9

Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a thin, oval shape about 1/8 inch thick.

Step 10

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the rolled dough onto it.

Step 11

Lightly beat the egg white in a small bowl and brush the top of each lavash with it to give a nice glaze.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the lavash is golden brown and crisp.

Step 13

Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or store in an airtight container to keep fresh.
