In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well until fully combined.

Mix the Dry Ingredients

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water and olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until a dough starts to form.

Add Wet Ingredients

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Knead the Dough

Place the kneaded 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.

Let the Dough Rise

In a small bowl, mix the za'atar spice blend with the olive oil until well combined to create a paste.

Combine Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a baking stone or sheet inside to heat up.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a round flatbread shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

Shape the Dough

Place the rolled-out dough on a baking sheet or parchment paper. Spread a generous amount of the za'atar mixture evenly over the top.
