How to Make Palestinian Za'atar Man'oushe at Home

Few things say ‘Palestinian morning’ like a warm man’oushe — flatbread baked with olive oil and za’atar until fragrant and golden. It’s simple, ancient, and endlessly comforting.

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour, 1 tsp yeast, 1 tsp sugar, ½ tsp salt, ¾ cup warm water, 2 tbsp olive oil (for the dough)
• 4 tbsp Zuwadati Za'atar
• 4 tbsp Zuwadati Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Method

1. Mix and knead the dough until smooth, then let it rise for about an hour.
2. Stir the za'atar with the olive oil into a loose paste.
3. Roll the dough into rounds, spread generously with the za'atar oil, and bake at 220°C (430°F) for 8–10 minutes until the edges turn golden.

Serve hot with fresh tomatoes, cucumber, olives and a glass of sweet tea. Sahtein — to your health, and double the pleasure.
