Lavash

1 . Stage

Place 2 tablespoons warm water and 1/2 teaspoon sugar in a small bowl and stir until the sugar dissolves. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let stand until the yeast is dissolved and foamy, about 10 minutes.

2 . Stage

Place the flour and salt in a large bowl and mix well. Make a well in the center and pour the remaining 1 cup warm water into the well. Add the yeast mixture, remaining 1 teaspoon sugar, and the butter and stir with a spoon until blended and a dough forms. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Add more flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking. Shape the dough into a smooth ball.

3 . Stage

Clean the mixing bowl and grease with oil. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to grease all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 3 hours.
