Lavash - Alton Brown

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon table salt
• 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 14 1/2 ounces all-purpose flour (about 2 1/2 cups)
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2/3 cup water
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions

1. 1

   Whisk together salt, sugar, and flour.

2. 2

   In another bowl, beat egg, 2 tbsp melted butter and water.

3. 3

   Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients all at once. Stir together with a clean hand. Once dough is fully combined, turn out onto a floured board and knead until smooth and glossy. Cut dough into thirds. Cover with a towel and let rest 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Brush the UNDERSIDE of a half-sheet baking pan liberally with butter. Press one dough ball into the center of the pan and roll out until it covers about 2/3 of the pan. Carefully stretch dough all the way around the pan, pulling it over the edge and pressing into place.

5. 5

   Bake on the middle rack of a preheated 375°F oven for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. If baking more than one sheet at a time, rotate top-to-bottom and front-to-back halfway through. If baking one sheet at a time, be sure sheet pan is fully cool before prepping the next dough ball. Cool completely on a rack. Break into shapes and serve.
