Ingredients

Let’s gather the ingredients you’ll need to make this incredible flatbread:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup za’atar seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions

Now that we have everything ready, let’s dive into these simple steps to whip up your Manaaeesh:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Mix well.
  2. Gradually add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough back in the bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  4. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small balls (about the size of a golf ball).
  5. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a flat disc about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Spread a tablespoon of the za’atar mixture on each disc, brushing the edges with olive oil.
  7. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If you have a baking stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
  8. Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet or directly on the hot baking stone. Bake for about 8-10 minutes until they puff up and are golden brown.
  9. Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before digging in!
