Method
Preparation of Dough
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, mix warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Make Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Assembling and Baking
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
Shape Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a circular shape about 8 inches in diameter.
Bake
Transfer the prepared manakeesh to a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the eggs are set.
