Step 3
Pour in 210 ml of warm water. Knead the dough. Do not add eggs or vegetable oil to the dough. Knead the dough ball very well—really thoroughly. I kneaded it by hand, stretching and folding for about 10 minutes. Place the dough ball into a plastic bag, tie it up, and leave in a warm place for 2 hours.

Divide the dough into balls. You can make the lavash either small or of a decent size. The total amount of dough should be divided into 4 parts. With your fingers, roll out each part into a flat sheet.
