Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 250 grams
• Warm water - 150 ml
• Active dry yeast - 7 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Vegan cheese (shredded) - 100 grams
• Zaatar spice mix - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh parsley (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Black olives (sliced) - 50 grams

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Mix until a dough forms, then knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 20 minutes or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a round disc, about 0.5 cm thick.
7. Spread the shredded vegan cheese evenly over each disc, then sprinkle zaatar spice mix and chopped parsley on top.
8. Add sliced black olives on top of the cheese and spices.
9. Transfer the discs to a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.
