| 1. | Sprinkle yeast into warm water in a large bowl and stir until dissolved. |

| 5. | Shape the dough into a ball. |
| 6. | Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease the top. |

| 8. | Punch down the dough and let it rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes. |
| 9. | Divide the dough into 8 pieces and roll each out on a lightly floured surface to a very thin circle about 9 inches in diameter (or make a single large sheet of lavash). |
| 10. | Brush a bit of olive oil over the tops of the lavash circles and sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds. |
| 11. | Place the prepared lavash on a baking sheet. |
| 12. | Bake at 400°F for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the bread appears dry, lightly browned, and blistered. |
