Armenian

Whisk

Bowl

Whisk flour and salt together and add to a standing mixer.

Using a dough hook, slowly drizzle warm water over the flour mixture while the machine is running.

Mix until the dough comes together, scraping the sides of the bowl when necessary. If needed, add a few additional tablespoons of warm water to wet the dry flour on the bottom of the bowl.

Once the dough comes together, cover it with saran wrap and place in a warm location for an hour.

After one hour, stretch the dough from the outside edges towards the center. Do this all the way around the dough ball then flip the dough over and form into a smooth ball.

Cover the bowl back up and allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes. Repeat this process one additional time.

If you have a pizza stone, heat in a 425-degree F oven for at least 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into 4 balls. Take one of the dough balls out and cover the rest, so they don&#039;t dry out.

Flour your working surface and roll the dough ball as thin as possible into the desired shape.

The traditional shape is a rectangle or an oval. The shape also depends on the size of the stone or pan that you will be using. My lavash bread was approximately 13&quot; x 9&quot;.

If you want to add sesame seeds, zaatar, or another topping, lightly brush the dough with oil or water before adding the topping and baking.

Transfer the dough onto parchment paper and into the oven. Bake for 5 minutes, or until the lavash bread begins to brown and bubbles appear.

Slide the bread off the parchment paper and onto another tray. Cover with a damp washcloth and continue with the remaining dough.

Lavash bread is best eaten as soon as it comes out of the oven. If you want to keep the lavash bread softer, mist with water before covering with a damp cloth.
