1 Step 1: Mix the yeast into the 1 cup of warm water. Ensure the water is not hot, or the yeast will not activate. Set aside for 3 minutes.2 Step 2: In a bowl, add 1 cup of the flour, the sugar, and the yeast-water mixture. Mix well with a spoon, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside for 10 minutes.3 Step 3: After 10 minutes, add the remaining flour (1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons), 1/4 cup olive oil, and the salt. Mix well until a shaggy dough forms.4 Step 4: Using your hands, knead the dough for 3-4 minutes, then smooth it out and set aside to rise for about 30 minutes, covered.5 Step 5: Preheat your oven to 375F while the dough rises.6 Step 6: Mix together the Za'atar and the olive oil in a bowl and set aside.7 Step 7: Mix together the mozzarella cheese and feta cheese and set aside.8 Step 8: Once the dough is ready, separate into 10 equal-sized balls. Using a floured rolling pin and a floured surface, flatten each dough ball to a very thin medium-sized flatbread. The dough will rise slightly in the oven, so it's important to make them thin.9 Step 9: Transfer the dough rounds to a floured baking sheet. You may need to use 2-3 baking sheets to fit them all, or wait for some to bake then add the rest.10 Step 10: Spread the Za'atar mixture on 5 of the manakish and make sure to cover the entire surface, leaving a 1/4 inch border.11 Step 11: Spread the cheese mixture on the remaining 5 manakish, leaving a 1/4 inch border. Sprinkle with the nigella seeds.12 Step 12: Place the baking sheets in the oven on the bottom rack and bake for 12-15 minutes until the bottom is lightly golden. You can bake more than one sheet at a time by placing one on the bottom rack and one on the middle rack. Once the bottom rack manakish are cooked, switch the middle rack sheet pan to the bottom for a few more minutes until cooked through.13 Step 13: For the cheese manakish, you can broil the top for just a few minutes to lightly brown the cheese. Keep an eye when you're doing this as it happens quickly.14 Step 14: Remove baked manakish and place in a platter, covering with a towel or plastic bag to keep them soft until serving.15 Step 15: Serve them with fresh vegetables like tomato, cucumber, mint, and olives.getsaucepan.com/r/6a56b1a3-c40e-4e8a-b18c-1d8c8943045a · Original: https://www.hungrypaprikas.com/manakish/
