Step 4
You can add a couple of tablespoons of sugar to the fruit puree if the fruits are not sweet enough. Place the saucepan over the lowest heat and cook for about an hour. I warn you that the puree will bubble, so you can cover it with a lid, but only halfway, to allow moisture to evaporate.

Step 5
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, spread the puree to a thickness of about 0.5 cm, and smooth it evenly over the entire surface. Place in the oven at the lowest heat setting with the door slightly ajar for 2.5 to 3 hours. The lavash can also be dried in the sun, but this will take several days.

Step 10
You can roll the lavash into small rolls and tie them with string or thread. In this form, it can be stored in a glass jar. However, it usually doesn't last long because it gets eaten very quickly. This is a delicious and healthy treat—I highly recommend making it!
