Spread the love

The combination of hummus and lavash is a something that makes for a complete well balanced meal. And if they are both homemade, it adds to the health element too. I have made this many times in the past but posting for the first time. Hope you try it too – after all we have much more time now than ever before.

Method for Lavash
Knead together whole wheat flour, chilli flakes, extra virgin olive oil, water and salt to make a firm dough.
Allow to rest for at least 30 minutes covering the dough with a damp cloth.
Divide the dough into small balls and roll it like a chappati.
Using a blunt knife make vertical strips and take a fork and prick holes all over.
Preheat the microwave at 180 degrees and once done, place the lavash strips on a microwave safe dish and bake at 180 degrees for 10 minutes on convection mode. Allow to cool and serve with hummus.
