In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup steamed and mashed sweet potato, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp fine sea salt, and 1/2 tsp ground cumin.

Gradually stir in 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms, then turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2 minutes until smooth.

Divide the dough into four equal pieces and roll each into a thin circle about one-quarter inch thick.

In a small dish, mix 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp za'atar seasoning, and 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley to create the topping.

Heat a dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
