👨‍🍳 Fremgangsmåde

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add warm water and 3 tbsp olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

   💡 Professionelle Tips: Ensure water is warm, not hot, to activate yeast.
2. 2

   Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

3. 3

   While dough rises, prepare the za'atar topping: In a small bowl, mix za'atar, sumac, and sesame seeds (if using). Stir in enough olive oil to create a thick paste.

   💡 Professionelle Tips: Adjust olive oil for desired consistency.
4. 4

   Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball.

   💡 Professionelle Tips: Work gently to avoid deflating the dough too much.
5. 5

   On a lightly floured surface, flatten each dough ball into a round disc, about 6-8 inches in diameter. Place on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.

6. 6

   Spread a generous layer of the za'atar mixture evenly over each dough disc, leaving a small border.

   💡 Professionelle Tips: Don't spread the topping too thin; a good layer is key.
7. 7

   Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the topping is fragrant.

   💡 Professionelle Tips: Watch closely to prevent burning.
8. 8

   Brush lightly with olive oil immediately after removing from the oven. Serve warm.
