Lavash is a popular unleavened flat crisp Middle eastern bread. Basically, it is made using all purpose flour, but here I wanted t to be more healthy nosh, so, opted for whole wheat flour instead. A small number of ingredients and you have your crisp tasty healthy crackers to nibble on. Though mostly Lavash is made plain, I preferred to give it a twist by making it more flavourful by using herbs and chilli flakes. So, here is whole wheat herbed lavash for you all which is one of easiest baked crackers the can be made at home to relish on.Mainly the lavash is made into thin big sized bread, but you can also cut them into small size and shapes you prefer.

Made these a couple of days ago. They came out great and today I made more and played around with a lot of different toppings. I love to bake but my husband has been having some health issues and I have been looking for a healthier alternative to breads and crackers for him. I finally found it! Thank you

One thing I really love about your recipes (as well as many other ethnic breads) is that when you say something is whole wheat IT IS WHOLE WHEAT. Most regular bread that is called whole wheat is MOSTLY WHITE (or unbleached) FLOUR. I found just your blog and now I am hooked.

Thank you so much MPaula 🙂
