Description

Armenian lavash is a traditional flatbread that is soft, thin, and often used to wrap various fillings. It is a staple in Armenian cuisine and is loved for its versatility and flavor. Commonly enjoyed with grilled meats, vegetables, or as a base for sandwiches, this lavash can be found in many American restaurants specializing in Mediterranean or Middle Eastern cuisine.

Ingredients

Water - 1 glass
Wheat Flour - 17.6 oz
Salt - to taste
Butter - 1.8 oz
Dry yeast - 0.3 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Knead the dough. To do this, mix water, salt, softened butter (optional, but it adds more flavor), yeast, and flour. Allow it to rise well.

Step 2

Divide the dough into small balls about 5–6 cm in diameter (if you have time, let the already shaped balls rise again), then roll each ball into a very thin pancake, about 1–2 mm thick, and fry on a preheated skillet over medium-high heat for 10–15 seconds on each side.

Step 3

As soon as the lavash turns pale and starts bubbling, flip it over. Do not let the lavash dry out, and avoid frying it until golden brown — it all happens very quickly.
