Za'atar Manaqish is a Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Flat Bread made with Simple bread dough topped with Olive based Za'atar spread.
It's like a mini pizza with Za'atar topping
When I had it for the first time with Toum, fresh from a local bakery here in Bahrain, I had simply fallen for it.
Then I started making it at home as Za'atar is readily available and I love baking breads
For Za'atar ( which simply means any herbs in Arabic ) you can make a simple mix of Oregano, Thyme, Sumac, Toasted White Sesame seeds and salt as per taste. Some add Toasted Cummin and Coriander powder too.

Note : Generally it's made with All-purpose Flour but I have used All-purpose Flour and Whole Wheat Flour both mixed in this recipe.

Steps

2 -2:30 hrs

1

Put all the ingredients in a bowl and add lukewarm water and knead it into a smooth dough, knead it for about 8-10 minutes, apply olive oil and cover with a cling film and let it proof for an hour.
2

Once the dough proofs (doubles in size), punch it knead it for a minute or so, divide the dough into roughly equal size and cover with a wet thin cloth and keep it for 30 minutes to proof.
3

While the dough is proofing, mix the za'atar and the olive oil in a bowl. Heat oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper and heat the tray. Oil the heated tray, flatten the dough into 4-5 inches disc, with finger make indention in the discs (prick it with a fork to prevent it from puffing up while baking) and gently spread the za'atar and Olive oil mix on it, leaving the edges. Do this for all the doughs.
4

Arrange it on a tray with enough space. Bake in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes or until the bottom and edges are browned. Take it out of the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
Serve warm or at room temperature with Toum or Labneh...I love it with Toum.
It's great as an appetizer with the Mezza Platter too.
