Lavash

We always gain a deep satisfaction from preparing exotic, international foods in our own kitchen, isn’t it? Here is your chance to make Lavash, the all-time Mediterranean favourite. With mild scents of olive oil and the strong aroma of toasted sesame, Lavash is a bread par excellence. Bake them fresh, allow them to cool and turn crispy, then serve with a cheesy or tangy accompaniment. The taunting aroma of freshly baked bread is sure to make one overeat!

  1. In a deep bowl put 3/4 cup  whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta). Whole wheat flour has a slightly nutty flavor that adds depth and complexity to the lavash.  Whole wheat flour is excellent for diabetics as they will not shoot up your blood sugar levels as they are a low GI food.
  2. Add dry yeast-water mixture.
  3. Add 1 tsp chilli powder.
  4. Add salt to taste. We added xx tsp salt.
  5. Mix well.
  6. Knead into a soft dough without using any water.
  7. Cover with a lid and keep aside for 15 minutes.

The taste is good. Black sesame had to be mixed with flour or atleast when it is half rolled into circle , otherwise black sesame just comes out. Also baking time of 13- 15 minutes is suggested.
