Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, dry yeast, sugar, and salt.

Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, mixing until the dough starts to come together.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal portions.
Step 7
Roll each portion into a ball and flatten into a round disc about 1/4 inch thick using a rolling pin.
Step 8
In a small bowl, mix together za'atar, sesame seeds, sumac, and extra virgin olive oil to make the topping paste.
Step 9
Spread a generous layer of the za'atar mixture evenly over each dough disc, leaving a small border around the edges.

Place the prepared discs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
