- Yield
- 16 rolls, from 4 pieces of flatbread
- Status
- Made frequently
Ingredients
- 4 pieces soft, rollable flatbread (replaces lavash)
- 1 large English cucumber, or enough for a thin layer of slices
- 1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, softened
Directions
- Thinly slice the English cucumber. Peel if preferred.
- Spread softened cream cheese evenly over one piece of flatbread, leaving a small border at one short end.
- Arrange cucumber slices in a thin layer across the cream cheese.
- Starting at the short end opposite the border, roll tightly into a log.
- With a sharp serrated knife, cut into four even sections. Repeat with the remaining flatbreads.
- Serve promptly, or cover and refrigerate briefly until serving so the bread does not become soggy.
From The Hungry Canary Kitchen
Made often: The creator regularly prepared this as a meal for herself, substituting English cucumber and ordinary flatbread for the original lavash-and-cucumber combination. The source's original quantity of one large English cucumber has been retained as a practical guide; the precise amount used in her batches was not recorded.
What is lavash? Lavash is a thin, flexible flatbread, widely used in West Asian cuisines. Ordinary soft flatbread can work for pinwheels too, provided it is pliable enough to roll without splitting.
