Time 1h35m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
2 cups warm water (110 degrees F (43 degrees C))
6 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon salt
4 tablespoons za'atar
4 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 3 cups flour and salt. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Turn dough out on a lightly floured work surface. Knead until smooth, about 10 minutes. Grease a large bowl. Place dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
  • Divide dough into 16 equal pieces and form into rounds. Roll into 1/4-inch-thick circles. Poke rounds with your fingers to create small indentations.
  • Mix za'atar and olive oil together in a small bowl. Spread over circles. Place on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until dough is golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes.

I'm allergic to sesame seeds, so I used nigella seeds instead. The bread turned out great!
