Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Warm water
- 0.25 cup Za'atar
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and warm water until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring to form a smooth dough. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to absorb the moisture fully.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a round disk about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the dough disks onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the za'atar and extra virgin olive oil to create a paste.
Spread a generous amount of za'atar paste over each dough disk using a spoon or pastry brush, ensuring even coverage.
Bake the Manakish in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven, let them cool slightly on a wire rack, and enjoy them warm.
