Ingredients

Servings

For the dough:

  • 800 g all-purpose flour
  • 500 ml water warm
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 20 g yeast dry

For the toppings:

  • 200 g cheese cut into large chunks (asiago, feta, mozzarella, or halloumi work well)
  • 3 tbsp Za’atar
  • 1 tsp sumac
  • 1 bunch green onions chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, olive oil, and warm water. Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  2. Cover the dough and let it rise until it doubles in size (about 1 hour).
  3. Lightly oil a large baking sheet or tray. Transfer the dough onto the tray and stretch it out gently using oiled hands.
  4. Distribute the cheese and chopped green onions evenly over the surface.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the za’atar and sumac with a bit of olive oil (optional, but enhances flavor). Drizzle or brush this mixture over the dough. Press everything in slightly with your fingers.
  6. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden and cooked through.
  7. Let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Enjoy!

Notes

  • Tips:
  • ✔ For a fluffier texture, allow a second rise directly in the baking tray (20–30 minutes).
  • ✔ For a more intense flavor, mix the za’atar and sumac with a bit of olive oil before spreading them on the dough.
  • ✔ Sprinkle with sesame or black cumin seeds before baking for a satisfying crunch.
