Za’atar Flatbread, often associated with manakish in the Levant region, is a cherished staple across Lebanon, Palestine, and surrounding Middle Eastern countries. During Ramadan, it frequently appears at Iftar gatherings as a warm, aromatic bread meant for sharing. The earthy blend of thyme, sesame seeds, and sumac mixed with olive oil creates a bold yet balanced topping. Simple pantry ingredients transform into a fragrant baked bread that pairs beautifully with dips, salads, and grilled dishes, making it ideal for festive spreads and community meals.

Description - Step 1

Activate Yeast

Place fresh yeast in a small bowl and add caster sugar along with two tablespoons of warm water. Stir gently and allow the mixture to rest undisturbed. Within a few minutes, it should turn frothy, indicating that the yeast is active. This step is crucial for achieving a light texture in the final bread.
