  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds optional

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar.
  2. Add olive oil and warm water and mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead dough on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth.
  4. Cover dough and let rest for 30–45 minutes.
  5. Divide dough into 8–10 equal portions.
  6. Roll each portion into a thin circle or oval.
  7. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat.
  8. Cook each flatbread for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden.

Resting the dough makes rolling easier and improves texture. Store cooked lavash covered to keep soft.
