Homemade Lavash from Whole‑Grain Flour
Description
Tasty baked goods for the whole family. It’s not necessary to buy lavash in a store, because you can easily make it yourself in just 10–15 minutes, but remember that the dough needs about 25–30 minutes for the gluten to activate. The best option is to prepare the dough in advance and fry the lavash right before serving. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

Flip it over and bake for the same amount of time. Be careful — you won’t get a golden brown like on a premium wheat‑flour lavash; the edges burn immediately, so keep an eye on the baking.

Place the ready lavash on a plate, immediately spray it with water from a sprayer and cover it with a towel, otherwise as they cool they will dry out and become brittle and crunchy.
