Method

1Combine flour, salt, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Gradually add warm water and olive oil to form a soft dough. Knead for 10 minutes.

2Cover and let the dough rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.

3Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F). Divide the dough into 6 portions and roll each into a thin circle.

4Mix za’atar with olive oil to form a spreadable paste. Spread the mixture over each dough circle.

5Bake on a preheated tray or pizza stone for 7-10 minutes until golden and puffed. Serve warm.

Notes

Serve with labneh or feta cheese for a complete meal.

For extra crunch, add sesame seeds to the za’atar mixture.
