Manoushe (Za'atar Flatbread)
Soft flatbread topped with za'atar mixed with olive oil, baked until slightly crisp, folded and eaten for breakfast.
Why It Works
The za'atar-oil paste toasts in the oven, releasing the thyme and sesame aromatics. The soft dough steams underneath, creating a perfect fold-and-eat texture.
