Bowl

In a bowl add the dry ingredients first. That includes the flour, the yeast, and salt. Mix all the dry ingredients.

Create a well in the center and add the olive oil and some of the lukewarm water.

Start to mix all the ingredients and add some water when it gets dry. That way you mix the dough ingredients and form it slowly into a smooth ball while incorporating step by step all the water.

Then work out the dough. This is important because layers get formed and the dough will be able to rise properly. You want an airy light dough.

Place your dough into a bowl, cover with some flour and a cloth and keep in a warm and dry spot.

Leave the dough to rise for as long as possible. You can prepare the flatbread once your dough has doubled in size.

Preheat your oven to 210 Celsius/410 Fahrenheit.

Work out your dough again before you roll it out.

Roll out or stretch out your dough to a circle or elliptical shape and place on a baking tray.

In a bowl mix the zaatar seasoning with the olive oil.

Spread the zaatar paste over the flatbread all over evenly.

Bake your Zaatar bread for 6 minutes at 210 Celsius/410 Fahrenheit.

Enjoy the manoushe still hot for breakfast or as a flatbread with middle eastern meals.
