Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 3 tablespoons Za'atar spice blend
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (optional, low sodium)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Mix thoroughly to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the olive oil and warm water. Stir with a spatula until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth rest for about 10 minutes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Divide the rested dough into 4 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a thin round, about 1/8-inch thick.
Brush each flatbread lightly with a bit of olive oil, then evenly sprinkle the za'atar spice blend and sesame seeds on top.
Place one flatbread at a time onto the preheated skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear and the bread is cooked through.
Remove from the skillet and drizzle fresh lemon juice over each flatbread for a zesty finish.
Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or side dish. Optional: sprinkle with a small pinch of low sodium salt for added flavor.
