Lavash is a thin, unleavened flatbread made from wheat flour and water, with no leavening agent. Bakers press the dough directly against the inner walls of a tonir clay oven, where it bakes in seconds from the radiant heat. The finished sheet is paper-thin and pliable when fresh, then crackling dry when left to cool.
