Spinach Lavash Bread
What it is
This is a type of flatbread made with flour, water, and yeast, with spinach incorporated into the dough. The spinach gives the bread a subtle green hue and a mild earthy flavor. It is typically baked until it is thin and slightly crisp, though it can also be soft and pliable depending on the preparation. This lavash is a versatile base for various dishes.
How people cook with it
It can be used as a base for appetizers or as a side to meals. Its thinness makes it easy to handle and incorporate into different culinary creations.
- Rolled up with fillings
- Cut into triangles for dipping
- Used as a pizza crust
- Torn into pieces for salads
To warm it, you can place it in a dry skillet over medium heat for a minute or two per side until it becomes pliable. For a crispier texture, bake it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes. It can be spread with dips, layered with ingredients for wraps, or used as a base for mini pizzas. Cut it into shapes for serving with soups or stews. The possibilities are extensive for both casual and more formal dining.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to thicker breads, this lavash is much thinner and has a more delicate texture. The addition of spinach differentiates it from plain lavash, offering a visual and flavor variation. Its pliability when warmed also sets it apart from cracker-like flatbreads.

Home cooks looking for a convenient and adaptable bread option will find this useful.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining lavash fresh, ensure it is tightly sealed in its original packaging or an airtight container. Store it in a cool, dry place. If it becomes too dry, a brief warming in a skillet can often restore its flexibility.
