Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 sheet lavash bread
- ½ oz butter or mayo (optional, for spreading)
- 10 slices ham (preferably nitrate-free)
- 10 leaves butter lettuce
Optional Ingredients
- Your choice of additional meats, vegetables, and/or cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Lavash Bread: Lay the lavash bread flat on a clean surface or cutting board. If desired, spread the butter or mayonnaise evenly over the entire surface of the bread to add moisture and flavor.
- Add the Ham: Place the slices of ham evenly over the bread, covering it thoroughly to ensure each bite has meat.
- Add Lettuce and Extras: Layer the butter lettuce leaves evenly on top of the ham. If using other vegetables, cheeses, or meats, distribute them evenly at this stage.
- Roll the Bread: Starting from one end, tightly roll the lavash bread up into a log shape to hold all the ingredients inside securely.
- Slice into Pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled lavash into 1-inch thick pinwheels for easy serving and eating.
- Serve: Arrange the pinwheels on a platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate briefly to keep them firm before serving.
Notes
- Using nitrate-free ham is a healthier choice and reduces exposure to preservatives.
- Lavash bread is soft and pliable, making it easier to roll without cracking.
- Customize fillings to suit dietary preferences or to add variety, such as turkey, chicken, or vegetarian options like hummus and roasted vegetables.
- For best flavor, prepare pinwheels just before serving to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
- These can be made ahead and kept chilled for up to 4 hours before serving.
