Prepare the za'atar topping in advance.

Roll out the dough into 2.5-inch rounds.

Use two fingers to stretch the dough from the center in a circular motion to about a 3-inch round, leaving a 1/4-inch lip around the edges.

Place the rounds on a tray, leaving half an inch apart.

Spoon a teaspoon of za'atar into the center of each round and spread it up to the lip using a fork.

Bake in the oven as described in the recipe.
