Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Za'atar spice blend
• 2 tablespoons Extra olive oil (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients. Stir until a shaggy dough forms, then knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 3

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 4

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and let them rest for another 15 minutes, covered with a damp cloth.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into a thin, round disc, approximately 8–10 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Heat a large, dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place one rolled-out dough onto the hot skillet and cook for about 1–2 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form and brown spots appear on the underside. Flip the laffa and cook for another 1–2 minutes on the other side.

Step 7

Remove the cooked laffa from the skillet and immediately brush it with a small amount of olive oil. Sprinkle a generous pinch of za'atar spice blend over the surface while the bread is still warm.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls. Keep the cooked laffa warm by covering them with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 9

Serve the za'atar laffa warm as a wrap, alongside dips like hummus or baba ghanoush, or as an accompaniment to soups or salads.
