Maneesh flatbreads
Dough Ingredients:
225g strong white bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon quick acting dried yeast
1 teaspoon light olive or pomace oil
150ml lukewarm water
Zataar topping ingredients:
3 tablespoons of white sesame seeds
1 tablespoon of dried thyme
1 tablespoon of dried oregano
1 teaspoon sumac
2 teaspoon salt
Mix all the dry ingredients together.
2 tablespoons of olive oil, at least to drizzle
Method:
In a large bowl mix the flour, salt and yeast. Make a well in the centre and pour in the oil and water. Use a blunt knife or wooden spoon to bring together, then use your hands. Add a little flour if needed. Knead for 5 minutes until the dough is not too sticky or put all the ingredients into a kitchen aid and use the dough hook. Cover with cling film and leave to rise and double in size, about an hour or in the fridge overnight.
When ready to use, knead for a further 5 minutes and roll out into a baking tray. Allow to rise again 20 minutes. Cover with za’atar topping, drizzle with plenty of olive oil and cook at 200˚c for 15-20 minutes.
