  • Mix the za'atar with the pesto. Spread the za’atar mixture over the naan bread. Place the remaining ingredients atop the bread.  Place the naan bread directly onto the pizza stone (if available) or onto a cookie sheet. Cook for 10 minutes or until the edges begin to crisp.
  • Pipe or drizzle the fennel cream over the flatbread.  Cut into three pieces and serve.
