Instructions
- Sprinkle yeast into warm water in a large bowl and stir until dissolved.
- Add salt and yogurt to the mixture.
- Combine all-purpose and whole wheat flours, adding enough to make a stiff dough.
- Turn out the dough on a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Shape the dough into a ball.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease the top.
- Cover and let the dough rise until doubled in bulk, approximately 1 1/2 hours.
- Punch down the dough and let it rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes.
- 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).
- Brush a bit of olive oil over the tops of the lavash circles and sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds.
- Place the prepared lavash on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 400°F for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the bread appears dry, lightly browned, and blistered.
- Enjoy your freshly baked lavash bread!
