• 1 recipe Greek bread
• 1 tablespoon Greek honey
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions for Lagana – Greek Flatbread:

Prepare the dough for Greek bread as directed in the recipe. Let the dough rise in a bowl as the recipe directs. Punch the dough down and knead according to the instructions in the recipe.

Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Roll the dough using a rolling pin into a long, rectangular shape (approximately 9 inches x 13 inches) and place on the baking sheet. Poke the dough with your fingers so that it makes an indentation. Make sure your fingers don’t go all the way through. Let stand on counter until the dough doubles.
