Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 sheet lavash bread
- ½ oz butter or mayonnaise (optional)
Fillings
- 10 slices ham (preferably nitrate-free)
- 10 leaves butter lettuce
- Optional: your choice of additional meats, vegetables, and/or cheeses
Instructions
- Prepare the Lavash: Lay the lavash bread flat on a clean surface. Spread the butter or mayonnaise evenly over the entire surface if using, to add moisture and flavor.
- Add the Ham: Place the ham slices evenly over the spread lavash, covering the bread completely to ensure every bite has savory meat.
- Layer the Lettuce: Arrange the butter lettuce leaves on top of the ham slices, ensuring to cover the surface for a fresh, crisp texture.
- Roll and Chill: Carefully roll the lavash tightly from one edge to the other to form a log. Wrap the roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the roll for easier slicing.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the rolled lavash from the refrigerator and unwrap. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into approximately 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use nitrate-free ham or substitute with turkey, chicken, or your preferred cold cuts for variety.
- Feel free to add cheese slices, thinly sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, or shredded carrots for added flavor and crunch.
- Chilling the rolled sandwich before slicing helps maintain its shape and creates clean pinwheels.
- Lavash bread can be substituted with large tortillas or flatbreads depending on availability.
- For a vegetarian version, omit meat and add your favorite veggies and spreads such as hummus or cream cheese.
