Ingredients

• 500 gr all-purpose flour
• 15 grams salt
• 10 grams instant dry yeast
• 60 grams sugar
• 12 grams olive oil
• 300 grams water
• Za'atar

Directions

1. In a mixer fitted with a dough hook knead all the ingredients (except the za'atar and finishing oil) for about 6 minutes, until you obtain a smooth dough. You can of course knead it by hand as well.
2. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover and set aside to proof for 2 hours.
3. You can prepare the dough the day before and place it in the refrigerator after the kneading is done. If you are using a dough made ahead, please take it out of the fridge 2 hours before you plan to grill it.
4. Divide the dough into 20 equal balls and place them on a lightly floured surface or tray. Cover with a kitchen towel and let proof for one hour.
5. Preheat the grill to high.
6. Using a rolling pin flatten each ball dough to about a 1/4 inch thick disk. Cook the pita on the grill for about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the grill and brush the top with a mixture of za'atar and olive oil.
7. I like to stack them to keep them warm.
