Lavash Crackers

My girls love these crackers - they would eat them by the handful if I let them! Delish with hummus in particular.

You need to roll the dough as thinly as possible - you can use a pasta machine to roll out the pastry if you have one.



Ingredients

3½ cups plain flour
1 teaspoons ground sea salt
2 tbs poppy seeds
2 tbs sesame seeds
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup milk
60g unsalted butter, melted

1. Sift flour and salt into a bowl, add seeds and stir to combine.

2. Combine milk, egg and butter.

3. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the wet mix. Slowly draw the flour into the centre to form a dough.

4. Knead until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. (It can stay in the fridge for up to 3 days like this.)

5. Heat oven to 180'C/ 355'F. Divide dough into four. Roll out each section very thinly (don't worry about any holes). Cut into rectangles and place on a greased tray. Bake for 8 minutes or until golden.

Cool on cake rack and store in airtight container.

I used my pasta machine to roll them out thinly, worked really well.

They look lovely! A batch of cracers and hommus added to my 'to cook' list this weekend.

I made some today and they are so yummy. Trouble is they are too yummy! My arm muscles are sore from all that kneading (i'll try the bread machine next time) and rolling (I need a pasta maker!) - and they are mostly all gone already thanks to my Dad and Daddy Eco gobbling them up before they had even finsihed cooling down :-(

Will definately make again. I had no poppy seeds so doubled the sesame. I also sprinkled some with salt and pepper when rolling. Will try sprinklling with diff herbs next time.

Thanks for sharing the recipe Julie.

How long would these last if kept in an airtight container. Also can the dough be frozen?

TIA,
Peta

Hi Peta,
They tend to go soft after a few days in storage, they are best the day they are made or the next day or so. I've not tried freezing the dough yet, but it's something I've been meaning to try - I don't see why it wouldn't? Good luck :-)

Cheers, Julie
