Sesame Lavosh
Lavosh is a thin, crunchy Middle Eastern bread that's delicious as a picnic snack or pre-dinner nibble. I flavour it with sesame and oregano but you can also use parmesan, fennel seeds, or chillies.

- 15-18 mins
- Makes:
- About 40
- 1 cup plain flour
- ⅓ cup wholemeal flour
- 2 tbsp each black and white sesame seeds or 4 tbsp just one kind
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh oregano or 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- ½ cup water
To finish:
- extra virgin olive oil
- flaky sea salt
Preheat oven to 165˚C and line an oven tray with baking paper. In a mixing bowl stir together the flours, sesame seeds, oregano and salt. Mix the oils and water together and add to the dry ingredients, stirring to form a soft, pliable dough.
Divide the dough into 4 pieces and roll each out on a lightly floured board as thinly as possible. Each piece of dough should yield a rectangle about 34 x 16cm. Cut each rectangle into strips measuring about 4 x 17cm and roll again. They need to be virtually see-through.
Carefully transfer strips to a baking tray, brush lightly with oil and sprinkle with flaky salt. Bake until crisp and pale golden – about 15-18 minutes. Allow to cool fully then store in an airtight container.
