Whole Wheat Lavash Bread
What it is
This is a large, thin, soft flatbread made with whole wheat flour. It bakes up with a slightly chewy texture and a mild, earthy flavor from the whole grains. Its large surface area makes it versatile for many culinary applications. It is often sold in rectangular or oval shapes and is a staple in many kitchens for quick meal preparation.
How people cook with it
Lavash is a fantastic canvas for a variety of flavors. It can be used as a base for quick meals or as a side to complement dishes.
- Rolled up with fillings
- Cut into triangles for dipping
- Used as a wrap base
- Torn and added to soups
To enjoy, simply unroll the lavash and use it as a wrap for your favorite ingredients like deli meats, cheeses, and vegetables. You can also cut it into bite-sized pieces and bake them until crisp to create homemade chips for dips or as a crunchy topping for salads. For a warm treat, lightly toast it in a pan or oven before serving. Its thinness allows it to heat through quickly, making it ideal for fast snacks or appetizers.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other flatbreads like pita, lavash is typically thinner and larger, lacking a pocket. Its whole wheat composition also gives it a heartier taste and texture than white flour versions, offering a more substantial bite.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a versatile and easy-to-use bread for everyday meals and snacks.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, keep any unused portions tightly wrapped in their original packaging or in an airtight container. Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight. If it becomes too dry, a slightly damp paper towel can help rehydrate it before use.
