Prepare the zaatar mixture by combining 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of shredded onion, and 1/3 cup of olive oil in a bowl.

Add zaatar to the mixture and adjust the olive oil for desired thickness.

Roll out the dough into small pie shapes.

If using a grill, ensure it is hot enough by sprinkling flour to check for browning.

Pinch the edges of the dough to seal the pies before cooking.

Cook the pies on the grill until crispy and cooked through.
