LAVASH FLAT BREAD

Recipe by Christine Capendale

This crispy Lavash recipe yields a delightful snack or accompaniment, perfect for cheese platters or selling at markets.

300g flour
10ml chili flakes
5ml salt
10ml dried oregano
45ml olive oil
250ml lukewarm water
sesame seeds black and white sesame seeds for sprinkling(optional)
Olive oil for brushing

METHOD:

  1. Combine all dry ingredients (flour, chili flakes, salt, and oregano) in a mixing bowl fitted with a dough hook, and mix well.
  2. Add most of the water and olive oil, and begin kneading the dough on low speed. Increase the speed as the dough comes together. Add more liquid if needed but avoid overmixing.
  3. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line two large baking trays with parchment paper.
  5. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Dust generously with flour and roll out on a floured surface as thinly as possible. Alternatively, use a pasta maker, starting on the widest setting and gradually decreasing to achieve the thinnest possible dough. Brush with olive oil.
  6. Cut the dough into smaller pieces and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place on the prepared baking trays.
  7. Bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until crisp and lightly browned.
  8. Cool and store in an airtight container if not using immediately.
