Ingredients
Dough
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp dry powdered milk (or powdered buttermilk)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Zaatar topping (enough for 4)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup Zaatar spice
- 1 tbsp water
Cheese topping (enough for 4)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
Instructions
Dough
- Combine yeast, sugar and 1/2 cup of the warm water in a small bowl and stir. Set aside to proof for 10 minutes.
- In a mixer bowl, sift in the flour, dry milk and salt.
- Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour and using the dough hook, knead for 10 minutes adding the remaining 1/2 cup water little by little until a nice consistent dough is formed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise until doubled in size or for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two large baking sheets (enough to hold two 8" circles) with silicon mat or parchment paper.
Assembly
- In a small bowl, blend the zaatar mixture, then set aside. In another small bowl, combine the cheeses and set aside.
- Lightly flour work surface and divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Form each into a ball by rolling it on the work surface in a circular motion.
- Working with one ball at a time (cover the rest with plastic wrap) roll the dough ball into an 8" circle, lightly dusting with flour as you roll.
- Arrange 2 dough rounds per baking sheet. Divide the za’atar oil mixture on top of 4 flatbreads and the cheese mixture over the remaining 4 dough rounds, spreading the toppings to edge of each flatbread.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the bottom of the manakeesh turns a golden brown. Serve immediately.
