Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Za'atar seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Extra olive oil for brushing
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Step 2
Slowly add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients while mixing with a wooden spoon. Once the dough starts to come together, transfer it to a lightly floured surface.
Step 3
Knead the dough for about 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Step 4
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Step 5
Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into six equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a towel and let them rest for 15 minutes.
Step 6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a round or oval shape, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 7
Heat a large, dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place one rolled-out dough round onto the hot skillet and cook for 1–2 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
Step 8
Flip the laffa and cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes, or until golden brown spots appear. Repeat with the remaining dough rounds.
Step 9
While the laffas are still warm, brush them lightly with olive oil and sprinkle za'atar seasoning on top. Use the back of a spoon to gently press the seasoning into the bread.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a wrap, alongside dips, or as part of a meal. Store any leftover laffas in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
