Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup warm water
• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons za'atar spice mix
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 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 olive oil.

Step 3

Using a wooden spoon or your hands, combine the ingredients to form a soft dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour. If it's too dry, add a bit more water.

Step 4

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a baking stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.

Step 7

After the dough has risen, punch it down to remove excess air. Divide it into 4 equal pieces.

Step 8

Roll one piece of dough into an oval or round shape, about 1/4 inch thick. Repeat with remaining dough pieces.

Step 9

Place the rolled dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or the preheated baking stone.

Step 10

Brush the surface of each flatbread with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle generously with za'atar spice mix.

Step 11

Bake each flatbread in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the bread is cooked through.

Step 12

Remove the flatbreads from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.

Step 13

Serve warm with your favorite dips, spreads, or enjoy as is!
