Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Za'atar spice blend
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (optional, low sodium)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Mix thoroughly to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.

Step 2

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the olive oil and warm water. Stir with a spatula until a dough begins to form.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth rest for about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Divide the rested dough into 4 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a thin round, about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 6

Brush each flatbread lightly with a bit of olive oil, then evenly sprinkle the za'atar spice blend and sesame seeds on top.

Step 7

Place one flatbread at a time onto the preheated skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear and the bread is cooked through.

Step 8

Remove from the skillet and drizzle fresh lemon juice over each flatbread for a zesty finish.

Step 9

Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or side dish. Optional: sprinkle with a small pinch of low sodium salt for added flavor.
