Za'atar Manakeesh

You already know that I have a special place in my heart for flatbreads. Manakeesh is one of them. It is a popular Levantine (referring to a large area in the Eastern Mediterranean) flatbread typically eaten for breakfast. Delicious and crispy homemade dough is topped with a za'atar and olive oil (there is another version with cheese, and it's about to come). The traditional shape of this pita is round but I decided to open the dough a little different. If you want the classic shape simply roll the balls to a thin pita, using a rolling pin. Enjoy it with Labaneh cheese and fresh sliced vegetables.

Step 10

On a floured surface, open each ball to a pita sheet by pressing it with your fingers.

Step 11

Spread the Za'atar topping on top. Using a fork- make holes where the topping is. It will avoid the Manakeesh to expand like a balloon in the oven.
