Lavash Bread
Whole Wheat Wonderfulness

makes one loaf... you might as well double it!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups very warm tap water
1 Tablespoon (1 pkg.) dry yeast
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups flour (white and/or whole wheat)
Dissolve the yeast in very warm tap water in a mixer bowl (like a KitchenAid or Bosch).
Add sugar, salt and flour.
Using the bread hook, begin mixing; once it forms a ball, knead for 2 1/2 minutes.
Place dough ball into a well oiled bowl, brush or wipe a little oil on top of dough ball; cover bowl with plastic wrap.
Turn the oven onto broil for 90 seconds, and then turn it off.
Place bowl of bread dough into the oven and close oven door.
Let rise until doubled.
This will take 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Punch down the dough; shape into a loaf and place on a greased cookie sheet.
Let it rest for about 15 minutes.
Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool on a rack.
Rub a cube of butter over the top for a softer crust.
Store in a Ziploc bag after it cools if there ¡s any left!
Make sure to have a slice while its still hot¡...heavenly!
It is divine with butter, but really delicious on it's own.
My favorite bread ever!
*For a more interesting looking loaf, cut 4 -5, 1/2" deep slits diagonally on the loaf.
If I take it to a gathering, I will make TWO double batches to make sure there ¡s enough to go around. My kids don't like me to share all our family recipes because they want to be the ones to show up at gatherings with the best stuff, and they say it with all sincerity. Trust me, it's not good, it's GOOOOOOOD!!! . I cut this loaf when it was barely out of the oven (I couldn't wait) and it slices nicely. This is too easy and yummy not to share and I said that I would, so here it is.
