Instructions

6 steps

1
In a large bowl, whisk the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

2
Add the flour, salt, and 3 tbsp olive oil. Knead for 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 45 minutes until doubled in size.
3
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) with a baking stone or inverted baking sheet inside.
4
In a small bowl, mix the za'atar blend and 1/2 cup olive oil to create a thick paste.
5
Punch down the dough and divide it into 6 equal balls. Roll each ball into a 6-inch flat circle. Use your fingertips to press dimples into the surface.
6
Spread 2 tablespoons of the za'atar paste evenly over each dough circle. Bake on the hot stone for 8-10 minutes until the edges are golden and the bottom is crisp. Serve warm.
