Step 1
In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt. Make a well in the center and add warm water and olive oil.
Step 2
Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 3
Let dough rest in an oiled bowl covered with a damp cloth for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together za'atar, extra virgin olive oil, and fresh lemon juice until well combined.
Step 5
Preheat oven to 450°F. Divide dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a thin oval about 0.25 inches thick.
Step 6
Place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Spread za'atar mixture generously over each manakish, leaving edges bare.
Step 7
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Serve warm, optionally with extra lemon wedges and fresh vegetables.
