Lavash Flatbread recipe

Ingredients

8 Servings
(1 serving = 1 piece)
  • 2 1/2cups
    All Purpose Flour
  • 1piece
    Egg (room temperature)
  • 3/4cup
    Water (room temperature)
  • 3tbsp
    Pure Olive Oil
  • 1pinch
    Himalayan Salt

How to make Lavash Flatbread

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, water, and 1 tbsp of the olive oil.

  2. Place the flour and salt into a medium mixing bowl. Add the whisked wet ingredients to the flour and mix well.

  3. Knead with your hands until the dough comes together. If too wet, add a little more flour. Do not over-knead the dough as it will become tough. Divide the dough into 2 balls.

  4. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees.

  5. Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.

  6. Take 2 silicone mats and lightly rub with some of the remaining olive oil. Place each dough ball onto a silicone mat. Roll out the dough until really thin (the thinner the dough, the crispier it will be).

  7. Brush the top of the thin dough with the last of the olive oil, sprinkle some Himalayan salt over, and bake in the oven for about 15–20 minutes, until crispy and golden brown.

  8. Break the bread into large pieces and serve.

Tips & Tricks

  1. For a crispier texture, roll the dough as thin as possible.

  2. Do not over-knead the dough to avoid toughness.
