  1. In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it gets all frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center.
  3. Pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Start mixing it all together until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour or until it doubles in size.
  6. Once risen, punch the dough down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle—about 1/2 inch thick.
  7. Spread the zaatar spice mixture evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the grated cheese and chopped olives all over.
  8. Cut the dough into strips and stack them on top of each other, then slice them into squares.
  9. Arrange the squares in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
  10. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
