MIDDLE EASTERN LAVASH Makes 8 cracker breads
The paper thin daily flatbread of the Arab, Armenian, and Middle Eastern countries
around the Mediterranean basin, lavash is basically a naan- or tortilla-type dough
rolled very thin. It is baked on a saaj, which looks like a large upside down wok over
an open fire. You can bake it in your oven on baking sheets and get a good rendition.
When soft, lavash is good for wrapping around hunks of cheese and grilled meats. It
keeps well in an airtight container, or in the freezer; just heat in the oven for a few
minutes before serving to soften it up.

Pour the water, butter, flour, sugar, salt, and yeast into the pan according to the order
in the manufacturer’s instructions. Program for the Dough cycle; press Start. After
3 minutes of kneading, check the dough to adjust the consistency; you want a soft
dough. Drizzle in a bit more water if needed.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cut 2 or 4 large pieces of parchment paper to fit 2 to 4
large, heavy-duty baking sheets.
When the machine beeps at the end of the cycle, press Stop and unplug the machine.
