1/2 c All Bran or Bran Buds

Favorite Toppings - use in any combination:
Dried oregano, dried basil, kosher salt, black or white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, rye seeds, ground or whole flaxseeds

1. Combine flour, All Bran, seasonings and oil in food processor. Process mixture using an off and on motion and until very well mixed.
2. Drizzle water through feed tube and process mixture until it comes together and forms a ball. If dough is too crumbly add enough water until mixture holds together.
3. Use a floured surface to roll out dough. Divide dough into approx. twenty pieces. (Keep dough in an airtight bag while rolling out each piece). Roll dough as thin as possible without it ripping. While rolling dough out sprinkle favorite toppings adding enough pressure to make sure toppings stick to the dough.
4. Bake for 4 to 7 minutes. Flip pieces over halfway through baking time
5. Watch very closely as the lavasch can bake uneven depending on how thin you rolled out the dough.

Additional pointers:
Keep baked lavasch in a well sealed container
Try experimenting with other varieties of flour
For a sweet taste, omit seasonings and top with a cinnamon and sugar mixture
