Instructions
Mana'eesh (Man'oushé)
- Dilute the yeast in a little warm water and set aside for 5 minutes.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix the flour, and the diluted yeast and start kneading, gradually adding the water until obtaining a soft dough which pulls away from the edges of the bowl.
- Add the salt and knead for an additional 5 minutes.
- Cover the dough and set aside for 45 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine the olive oil and the za'atar until you obtain a smooth paste.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece. Spread each disc-shaped ball to about 7 inches (18 cm) diameter. Stack them on a plate, each separated with a sheet of parchment paper.
- Heat a non-stick skillet without any fat. Place a disc of dough, brush the surface with the olive oil and za'atar mixture then cover.
- Cook covered for 3 minutes over medium heat then 3 or 4 minutes over low heat, always covered.
- Set aside in a warm place and repeat for the remaining flatbreads.
Za'atar
- In a blender (or in a coffee grinder), blend thyme, oregano, savory, marjoram, sumac and salt.
- Lightly roast the sesame seeds in a frying pan without browning them.
- Add half of the sesame seeds to the mixture of herbs and sumac and mix again.
- Add the rest of the sesame seeds.
- Store the spice blend in a glass jar in a dry place.
