Georgian lavash in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Georgian lavash? Prepare food for him. A kilogram of flour will yield about 6 large pita breads. I only cooked part of the portion, I only got one.

2. STEP 2

   

   Take 200-250 grams of flour, sift it into a bowl. Add warm water, sugar and yeast to the flour.

3. STEP 3

   

   Stir the products with a spoon; if the mixture is too dry, add a little more water. The goal is not to knead the dough, but simply to mix the ingredients. This will serve as a dough for the future test. Leave the dough in a warm place for 20 minutes.

4. STEP 4

   

   I turned on the oven for a while at 50°C, then turned it off. I put a bowl of dough there. It came up very quickly, increased in size and bubbled.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add salt to the dough. Add the sifted flour in portions, kneading the dough first with a spoon and then with your hand. Do not add a lot of flour at once; it is easy to “clog” the dough - make it too tight and steep. I used very little flour, most of it remained.

6. STEP 6

   

   Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. It will quickly begin to lag behind the walls and hands. Cover the bowl with a napkin and place it again in a warm place to proof. Proofing time is from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the temperature.

7. STEP 7

   

   Mine came up in half an hour, it doubled in size. Knead it a little, gathering it into a ball and releasing excess air.

8. STEP 8

   

   Lightly sprinkle a baking tray with flour. Place the dough on it, stretching it to the sides, forming a boat. To do this, slightly flatten it in the center with your fingers and gather the ends together. Be sure to make a hole in the center so that the pita bread does not swell during baking.

9. STEP 9

   

   Preheat the oven to 220°C, top-bottom mode. Bake the pita bread for about 20 minutes until golden brown.

10. STEP 10

    

    Remove the hot pita bread from the oven and be sure to place it on a wire rack to cool, so the crust will remain crispy.

I really love lavash, and especially Georgian. I always wanted to try to cook it myself. I think I succeeded with this recipe after all) I cooked from 1/4 portion and I got one not very large pita bread. I did everything according to the instructions. The recipe is simple, the products are available. I’ll take this recipe into my treasure chest and cook from it. My whole family liked the lavash, the taste is very similar to the real one, prepared by professionals) The crust turned out crispy, and the crumb was soft, porous, the smell was pleasant, bready. Nice recipe!

The lavash is very cute, I want to try baking it. Is it possible to specify the amount of flour?
