Herbed lavosh
Herbed lavosh is a crisp, thin flatbread made with plain flour, fresh flat leaf parsley and thyme. The Thermomix grinds the herbs finely and kneads the dough into a silky, elastic consistency. Baked until golden and brittle, these fragrant crackers are ideal with dips, cheese boards or soups, offering an intense herbal aroma in every crunchy bite.
About this recipe
Herbed lavosh with the Thermomix TM7 is a wonderfully rewarding recipe for anyone searching for homemade flatbread recipes with an all-in-one kitchen machine. Lavosh is a paper-thin, blistered cracker originating from Armenia, and this version is fragrantly greened with fresh flat leaf parsley and thyme, bound with egg, water and plain flour. What makes this snack work so well in the TM7 is the grinding function: fresh herbs release their oils far more intensely than dried ones, and the machine pulverises the parsley and thyme leaves in seconds, distributing the flavour evenly through the dough. The kneading function then develops the gluten just enough for a supple dough that rolls out wafer thin. Serve these brittle, sea-salted crackers at a drinks party, pack them in a lunchbox, or offer them alongside soup at a quick weeknight dinner.
Preparation tips
- Roll the lavosh dough between two sheets of baking paper so the fresh parsley and thyme stay evenly distributed and the paper-thin sheet does not tear when you lift it.
- Sprinkle the sea salt flakes over the dough just before baking rather than kneading them in; this keeps the crystals visible and gives each lavosh cracker an appealing crunch.
- Store the fully cooled crackers in an airtight tin with a sheet of kitchen paper; they stay crisp for several days and can be briefly rewarmed in the oven if they soften.
Recipe variations
- Gluten-free version: replace the plain flour with a gluten-free bread flour blend and add a little extra egg to compensate, so the parsley and thyme dough still rolls out thinly and bakes crisp.
- Festive version: add finely grated lemon zest and a pinch of chilli flakes to the thyme and parsley dough, then cut the lavosh into long strips for an elegant aperitif board at Christmas or New Year.
