This Middle Eastern delicacy is similar to a pizza, made of soft pita base topped with zaatar spice mix. Lebanese Bakeries or 'furuns' as we know them are my happy place.

Steps to make Manakish:

1. Prepare the dough. - - In a bowl, add water, yeast and sugar. - - The water has to be lukewarm If it is too warm, it will kill the yeast. - - Stir to dissolve the yeast and sugar.
2. Set aside for 10 mins. - - In another large bowl, add flour and salt. - - Stir to combine well. - - Create a well in the middle.
3. By now the yeast should become foamy. - - Gradually, pour the yeast mixture into the well while still mixing with your other hand or spatula. - - Add in the olive oil. - - Combine the mixture well until it becomes a dough. You can do this by hand or a spatula.
4. Once it becomes a dough, knead the dough inside the bowl until all the nooks and crannies of flour is kneaded into the dough, about 3 to 4 mins. - - Transfer the dough onto a working surface and continue kneading for another 5 to 6 mins. - - The dough should be soft, smooth and tacky, but not sticky. It should pass the "window-pane" test.
5. If the dough is too dry, add in water, 1 TBSP at a time. If the dough is too sticky, add in flour, 1 TBSP at a time. - - Form the dough into a ball. - - Lightly grease the dough ball with olive oil and transfer back into the bowl. - - Cover with cling film and set aside for 2 hrs or until doubled in size.
6. While the dough is raising, prepare za'atar. - - In a bowl, combine all the ingredients together. - - Mix until well combined. - - Set aside.
7. Prepare the salad. - - In a bowl, toss everything together, except the vegan feta cheese. - - Toss until well combined. - - Set aside in the fridge until ready to use.
8. Prepare the manakish. - - After it has doubled in size, divide into 4 equal dough balls with a weighing scale. - - Cover with a damp lint free kitchen towel, lightly grease the dough balls with olive oil and set aside to rise for 30 mins for the 2nd raise. - - Preheat oven to 205 degree celsius or 400 fahrenheit.
9. Lightly grease a baking tray with olive oil. - - Lay parchment paper over the tray. - - Transfer a dough ball onto the tray. - - Using fingers to press the dough ball and form a 5" round disc. - - Don't need to be a perfect circle.
10. Lastly press the disc with fingers to form dimples. - - Spread 1 heaped TBSP of za'atar over the dough leaving a 1/8 inch border along the edge. - - Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls. - - Do not crowd the baking tray.
11. Bake the manakish in batches if have to. - - Wack into the oven ad bake for about 15 to 20 mins or until is golden brown and crisp brown at the bottom. - - The za'atar should be still liquidy.
12. Remove from oven and set aside on a wire cooling rack to cool down to allow the za'atar to soak into the dough, for about 15 mins. - - Serve with salad on the side. - - Sprinkle pinches of vegan feta cheese over the top. - - Serve immediately.
