Mana'ousha (Za'atar Flatbread)

I've been itching to try this simple flatbread recipe for weeks now. I finally got the chance today. It ended up being a bit of a last-minute scramble for dinner, but it worked out well in the end. The flatbread, served along side a liver pilaf and some asparagus, made for a satisfying (if not terribly healthy) meal.

Slightly adapted from Our Syria by Itab Azzam and Dina Mousawi

Ingredients

  • 5 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp. za'atar
  • 400g puff pastry
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • fresh mint leaves (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Add za'atar to olive oil and stir to combine.
  3. Roll out your puff pastry to form a large rectangle of ~45cm by 30cm (18x12").
  4. Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Pour the za'atar mixture over the pastry and use a pastry brush to evenly spread it over the entire surface, leaving a 1cm (1/2") border around the edge.
  6. Bake at 220°C (425°F) for 15 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle with diced tomato and fresh mint leaves and serve.
