Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 1 large Egg
- 4 tablespoons Za'atar seasoning
- 60 milliliters Olive oil (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to mix the dry ingredients.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the olive oil, warm water, and egg. Stir until the mixture begins to come together, forming a sticky dough.
Transfer the dough to a gluten-free floured surface. Knead the dough gently for about 5 minutes, adding a little more gluten-free flour if it is too sticky to handle.
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and shape each piece into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll each dough ball into a circle approximately 1/4 inch thick. Place the circles onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the za'atar seasoning with the olive oil for topping to create a paste.
Spread a thin layer of the za'atar paste over each flat circle of dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is slightly golden and crisp on the edges.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a couple of minutes, and serve warm.
