Method

  1. Whisk the yeast, warm water and a spoonful of the flour in a bowl until the yeast dissolves. Leave the bowl in a warm place for a few minutes until frothy.
  2. Put the remaining flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre, pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil and combine to form a soft dough. Knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and set aside for 30 minutes.
  3. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Flour the work surface, take a ball and flatten it with your hands to form a round. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to form a thin round about 20cm across. Scatter with a little za’atar and roll again to press it into the dough. Set aside on a lightly floured tray while you shape the remaining flatbreads.
