Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the water and olive oil.
2
Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. If it's too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time.
3
Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
4
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions, then shape them into small balls.
5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into a thin, approximately 1-2 mm thick oval shape.
6
Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the lavash breads one at a time for 30-40 seconds on each side, until lightly browned spots appear.
7
As they are cooked, place them in a dish covered with a kitchen towel to keep them soft.
8
Serve fresh, or use for sandwiches, kebabs, or other Middle Eastern dishes!
