Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- 2
Add the olive oil, sea salt, and whole wheat flour to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms.
- 3
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- 4
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- 5
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 6
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.
- 7
Transfer the discs to the prepared baking sheet. Brush each disc with a little olive oil and sprinkle generously with za'atar spice and sesame seeds.
- 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the bread is puffed and lightly golden.
- 9
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
