How to Make Lavash Bread

  1. In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast into warm water. Stir until completely dissolved.
  2. Add salt and yogurt to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose and whole wheat flours.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a stiff dough forms. If using a bread machine, follow the manufacturer's instructions for the dough cycle.
  5. If kneading by hand, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  6. Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat the top.
  7. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
  8. Gently punch down the dough and let it rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  9. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a very thin circle, about 9 inches in diameter.
  10. Brush each lavash with a little olive oil and sprinkle with your chosen seeds.
  11. Transfer the lavash to a baking sheet.
  12. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5-6 minutes, or until the bread is dry, lightly browned, and blistered. Watch carefully to prevent burning!
  13. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
