Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
- 3 tablespoons Za'atar spice blend
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the active dry yeast, sugar, and warm water. Stir gently and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Lightly oil a clean bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, cover it with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 6
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 7
Place the flattened dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Brush the tops generously with olive oil.
Step 8
Sprinkle 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of za'atar spice blend evenly over each piece of dough. Add sesame seeds as a garnish if desired.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the bread is cooked through.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy dipped in olive oil.
