Za'atar Man'ouche

• 300 g plain flour
• 75 ml extra virgin olive oil
• 150 ml warm water
• 2 tsp instant rise yeast
• 1 tsp salt

For the za'atar topping:

• 3 tbsp za'atar mix (thyme, sumac, sesame seeds, salt)
• 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1. In a big bowl combine the flour, the salt and the yeast powder. Make a well in the middle and pour into it the olive oil and the warm water. With a silicon spatula bring the flour in from the sides and mix it well with the liquid. Keep mixing until it all starts to come together, and then keep on mixing with your clean hands and knead it until you have a smooth, not sticky, dough.
2. Cover the bowl with a cloth and place in a warm place of the house for at least half an hour until the dough has doubled its volume.
3. Remove the dough from the bowl and place it in a clean flour-dusted surface.
4. Divide the dough in 4 parts, knead it a bit with your hands and, with the help of a rolling pin (lightly dusted in flour), extend the 4 man’ouche gradually flattening them out.

For the za’atar topping:

1. In a small bowl mix the za’atar and the olive oil.
2. With the help of a spoon, spread the mix on top of each of the 4 man’ouche.

For the final preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
2. Bake in the oven for 7 minutes.
