👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. In a large bowl, dissolve instant dry yeast and a pinch of sugar in warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Add all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, and olive oil for dough to the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
3. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
4. While the dough rises, prepare the za'atar topping: In a small bowl, combine za'atar mix with olive oil until a thick paste forms. Set aside.
5. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Divide the risen dough into 4 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a thin, roughly 15-20 cm (6-8 inch) round.
6. Transfer the rolled dough rounds to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread a generous amount of za'atar topping evenly over each round, leaving a small border.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the topping is fragrant. Serve hot or warm.
