  3. Prepare the topping by mixing the zaatar, sumac, the rest of the olive oil and a little pepper.
  4. Divide the dough into balls, flatten each ball into a disc and spread a spoonful of the zaatar mixture over it.
  5. Fold the edges to form little parcels or leave them open as triangles, then let them rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Bake at 220 °C for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are golden. Serve warm.
