Description:
A tasty flat bread bread popular in the Caucasus Mountains. Good luck, and Bon Appetit!!!


General applicability:

Georgian Flat Bread (Lavash)
Green: recipe contains only neutral or a beneficials ingredients for that type.
Yellow: recipe contains an secondary avoid ingredient that may be substituted by a more permissable one.
Orange: contains an avoid in a primary ingredient.



Ingredient list:
  • 2 cups brown rice flour
  • 1-1/4 cup spelt flour
  • 1/2 cup beer
  • 1/8 cup flax seed oil
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 3 teaspoons blackstrap molasses
  • 1 cup of goat milk
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup ground walnuts or hazelnuts toasted in olive oil


How to make it:
  • Sift the flour and sea salt into a large mixing bowl. Pour in the molasses and oil.
  • Add the beaten egg and milk.
  • Add the beer.
  • Mix the flour well. The dough should be rather dense, and firm. Adjust to your liking by adding a little more of one or both flours, if the mixture is not firm enough.
  • Set aside the dough for 30 or 40 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Sprinkle the toasted nuts on 2 large, or 4 medium-size, baking sheets.
  • Knead the dough for 5 minutes, and split it into halves (if using 2 sheets) or fourths (if 4 sheets).
  • Roll out the sheets so that they are even, making them about 1/16 inch thick. (No thicker, because the bread will not get properly done!)
  • Bake for about 35 - 40 minutes or until crispy.
  • Test a few times when the bread begins to brown.
  • Divide the bread into single serving sheets.
  • Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil on top!

    Comments:

  • Goes great with Lamb Shishkebab topped with coriander leaf and sprinkled with powdered cayenne pepper!
  • There are both sesame and poppy seeds in the traditional Georgian lavash, so I've substituted other nuts in order to make this B-friendly, but the nuts can be omitted if you prefer.
