    ARMENIAN-Lavosh

    List of Ingredients




    1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
    1½ teaspoons sugar
    1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water (110 to 115 F)
    3 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 stick melted butter
    1 tablespoon white sesame seeds, chopped onions or poppy seeds


    Recipe






    Pour the yeast into a clean, small warm bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of the sugar and 1/2 cup of
    the warm water. Let mixture stand for 2 to 3 minutes, then stir to dissolve yeast completely.
    Place bowl in a warm draft-free place until the mixture looks foamy and has almost
    doubled in volume, about 5 to 10 minutes. Measure flour into a mixing bowl and make a
    well in the center of the flour. Pour in the yeast mixture, remaining water, sugar and
    melted butter. Mix ingredients well with a wooden spoon until a soft spongy dough is
    formed. Cover bowl loosely with a warm damp cloth and return to the warm draft-free spot
    until the dough again doubles in volume, about 45 minutes.

    Preheat the oven to 350 F. When the dough has risen, place on a lightly floured surface
    and divide into 6 equal parts. With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll each part into a flat
    round about 1/4 inch thick. Place 2 or 3 rounds on each of 2 or 3 baking sheets. Rub the
    surface of each round lightly with cool water and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of sesame
    seeds, onions or poppy seeds. Bake the rounds on the bottom rack of the oven for 20
    minutes, until the breads are a pale golden brown (bake the bread in batches if the oven is
    not large enough to bake the entire recipe at once). With a spatula, transfer breads to wire
    racks to cool. Bread will keep several days if stored in a dry, airtight place.

    This is a lovely cracker-like bread.
