Steps

1. In a bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

4. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
5. Once the dough has risen, roll it out into two circles about 1/4 inch thick.
6. Transfer the dough circles to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, cucumber, radish, red onion, bell pepper, parsley, lemon juice, sumac, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
8. Spread the vegetable mixture evenly over the dough circles.
9. Sprinkle zaatar spice on top of the vegetables.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden and crispy.
