About Gluten-Free Lavash
Unlock the ever exciting world of healthy and delicious flatbreads, by understanding the simplicity yet versatility of Gluten-Free Lavash. Originally from Armenia and widely consumed in many parts of the Middle East and Mediterranean, this thin, soft, and easily foldable bread has recently gained global attention. More alluring is our gluten-free version of Lavash, carefully crafted to combine the health benefits of gluten-free diet with the rich flavor and convenience of this middle-eastern staple.
What Makes Gluten-Free Lavash Stand Out?
Unlike conventional bread, our Gluten-Free Lavash recipe replaces standard flour with gluten-free all-purpose flour and xanthan gum, offering the same texture and taste without the gluten. The addition of milk (either dairy or non-dairy), olive oil, cider vinegar, salt, an egg (or flax egg for a vegan option), honey (or agave nectar for the vegan option), and water results in a versatile bread that can be enjoyed by everyone, irrespective of dietary restrictions.
This bread pairs beautifully with hummus and baba ganoush, and can take your Chicken Gyros or Zucchini Lasagna to another level. Additionally, it can be used as a lower carb alternative to tortillas and can be satisfyingly filled with cheese, avocado, and cooked meat or plant-based protein to make wraps and burritos.
A Bread That Mirrors Your Creativity
One of the joys of Gluten-Free Lavash is that it functions not just as a flavoursome and nutritious bread option, but also a canvas that mirrors your culinary creativity. Whether it’s creating a delectable light bite to satisfy snacking needs or using it as a foundation for a full-fledged hearty meal, Lavaş provides a great amount of flexibility in use. You can divide it into small squares for dipping or by keeping it whole, use it for rolling or wrapping ingredients. Furthermore, this bread can be folded around our lunch or dinner, heated, and then relished as a warm, tasty and convenient meal.
The next time that you wish to celebrate the universal love for bread while adhering to a gluten-free diet, remember to give our Gluten-Free Lavash a try! Here’s to a healthier, tastier, and more inclusive bread experience for everyone.
What You’ll Need
- 1 1/2 cups Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour
- 1/3 cup Milk (Dairy or Non-Dairy)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- 1 teaspoon Cider Vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg (or Flax Egg for Vegan)
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or Agave Nectar for Vegan)
- 1 tablespoon Water (may need more)
Method
Step One
Start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a baking sheet or a piece of parchment paper on your working surface, this will be used later on for rolling the dough.
Step Two
Prepare your flax egg if you’re making the vegan version of this recipe. Simply mix 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons of water and let it sit for around 5 minutes to thicken.
Step Three
In a large bowl, mix together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Make sure the ingredients are well combined.
Step Four
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the egg (or prepared flax egg), milk, olive oil, cider vinegar, honey (or agave nectar) and water. Use a whisk to ensure all the wet ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Step Five
Gradually pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring. Continue to mix until a sticky dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little bit more water.
Step Six
Transfer the dough onto your prepared baking sheet or parchment paper. Use another piece of parchment paper to cover the dough, and then roll it out as thin as you can without creating any holes.
Step Seven
Remove the top layer of parchment paper. If you want to, you can score the dough to create the traditional lavash bread shape and size.
Step Eight
Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for around 10-15 minutes, or until the lavash bread is crisp and slightly golden in color.
Step Nine
Once baked, remove the lavash bread from the oven and let it cool before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free lavash bread with dips, spreads, or as a substitute for any dish that requires bread.
