In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Gradually add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Meanwhile, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a flat circle about 4-5 inches in diameter.
Spread a tablespoon of zaatar spice mix onto each circle, leaving a small border around the edge.
On one half of the circle, place a mix of sautéed spinach and crumbled feta cheese. Fold the other half over to create a pocket and press to seal.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly brush with olive oil.
Cook each manakish for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Serve warm, drizzled with additional olive oil, and enjoy!
