A super popular bread across the middle east is this amazing Za\u2019atar Flatbread dish. Also known as Manaqueesh, these Flatbreads are light and fluffy bread that is baked at a super high temperature and topped with a wonderfully flavored seasoning. The seasoning is commonly known as Za\u2019atar, which is a spice blend typically consisting of Garlic, Sumac, Oregano, and Salt. Olive Oil is added to the Za\u2019atar spice mixture to bind everything together. Top the Za\u2019atar onto the Flatbreads then bake for a few minutes, and you\u2019ve got the most amazing tasting bread, perfect for a bite to eat or side dish to a big meal!

How to make delicious homemade Za\u2019atar Flatbread<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve made your simple Za\u2019atar spice mix by combining the spices mentioned above, the other critical component is, of course, the Flatbread! We start out with a combination of regular All Purpose Flour and 00 Flour. 00 Flour is very popular in Pizza recipes as it a super-finely ground Flour. If you don\u2019t have any 00 Flour then you can just use regular AP Flour. We would recommend giving the flour a sift to get it a little bit finer

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, simply add it to a mixing bowl along with some Dry Activated Yeast, Sugar, and Salt. In a separate bowl whisk together Yoghurt and Olive Oil and then mix than into the flour. Knead the mixture well so that it forms a tight dough structure that can be stretched without breaking

We recommend using a Stand Mixer with a dough hook attachment for the best result. If you don\u2019t have a Stand Mixer you can simply knead the dough by hand. It\u2019ll take about 5 minutes on medium in the Stand Mixer. Double that time if you\u2019re kneading by hand

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, shape the dough into a ball and allow to rest for about 1 hour at room temperature

Form the Flatbreads and top with that wonderful Za\u2019atar topping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once the dough is rested it will have puffed up quite a bit. Lay the dough out on a flat surface and give it a good punch or two with your first to release the air. Then, cut the dough into 8 evenly sized pieces and roll out thin into circles

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allow the dough to rest again for 15 minutes at room temperature. For this rest, we recommend covering with a damp cloth or towel, as this will help to retain the moisture needed to get a beautiful and fluffy Za\u2019atar Flatbread

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once rested, paste a generous amount of the Za\u2019atar seasoning over the flatbreads and then it\u2019s time to bake!
