Steps

In a bowl, mix all the thyme mixture ingredients together. If needed add some water to get a medium fluid mixture.

To prepare the dough: mix the flour, sugar and the water dissolved yeast. Add the vegetable oil and mix again. While kneading, gradually add the water until you get a well-combined dough.

Cover the dough with a plastic wrap and leave it to rest in a warm place for at least 1 hr.

After the dough has risen, knead it again, with some flour on your hands. Divide the dough into big parts and roll each part on a lightly floured surface using a rolling pin. Cut the dough into 10 cm diameter circles using a circular pastry cutter.

Top each circle with 1 tablespoon of thyme mixture.

Slightly grease 2 oven trays with olive oil and place the manakeesh on them. Bake at medium heat for around 20 min or until the bottom of the dough turns lightly brown.
