Ingredients
- 14 1/2 ounces all-purpose flour, approximately 2 1/2 cups plus extra for rolling
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup water, plus additional if needed
- 1 whole egg
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided, melted, and cooled slightly
Directions
Place the flour, salt and sugar into a medium bowl and whisk to combine. In a small bowl whisk together the water, egg, and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until the dough comes together, adding additional water if the dough is dry. Knead the dough in the bowl 5 to 6 times. Turn the dough out onto the counter, divide into thirds, cover with a tea towel and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Lightly butter the back of a half sheet pan using some of the remaining butter. Place the sheet pan, upside down on a surface that will prevent sliding. Working with one ball at a time, place the dough ball onto the back of the sheet pan and roll the dough out to an even 1/8-inch thickness. Gently stretch the edges of the dough so they fall slightly below the edge of the pan and hold the dough in place. Lightly brush the dough with butter, place on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the lavash to a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining dough, on a cooled pan. Break each sheet into shapes and sizes as desired. Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

These crackers were quick and easy to make. I decided to make them at the last minute for company and they were ready in less than half the time necessary for the lavash using yeast. Without some beefing up these are quite bland. I slathered them all with olive oil, sesame seeds and seasonings (I used adobo seasoning on one, red pepper on one, and parmesan cheese on one. If you have an extra hour or so, the yeast recipes are tastier.

I've never made crackers before but I'm an avid baker. I wanted a cracker that I had as part of the bread basket in a restaurant recently. I topped the dough with nigella (black and white sesame seeds and sea salt before baking, also a light brushing of olive oil. Also, I had substituted the sugar with about a tablespoon of honey for more sweetness. The cracker was just ok. Good recipe but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I think without toppings, it would have been slightly bland.
