Sesame Lavash Flatbread Crackers
What it is
These are thin, crisp crackers made from lavash bread, a traditional Middle Eastern flatbread. They are baked until golden and feature a generous coating of sesame seeds, which impart a nutty flavor and a pleasant crunch. The crackers are typically seasoned lightly, allowing the sesame and the baked dough to be the primary flavors. They offer a satisfying texture that is both delicate and substantial, making them a versatile snack option.
