Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 Tbsp active dry yeast (or 1/2 oz compressed

yeast) -- (1 enveloppe)

1 tsp sugar

1 1/4 c lukewarm water

3 1/4 c all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt

6 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

4 Tbsp zaatar ( = 2 heaped tsp dried thyme + 1

heaped tsp dried marjoram + 3 Tbsp sesame

seeds)

 

 

 

Proof the yeast in a few tablespoons of the warm water, with the sugar

mixed in.

 

Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl and make a well in the center.

Add the yeast mixture and remaining water and knead until you have a firm

dough.

 

Transfer to a floured work surface and continue to knead for 10-15 minutes

or until smooth and elastic.

 

During this time, knead in 1 tablespoon olive oil into the dough - this

will make it softer.

 

Wash and dry the mixing bowl and grease with a little oil. Add the dough

andand roll around in the bowl until well oiled. Cover with a clean cloth

and leave in a warm place to rise for about 2 hours or until doubled in

bulk.

 

Punch down the dough and knead for a few minutes.

 

Divide into 10 portions and roll each between your palms until smooth and

round.

 

Flour a work surface. Flatten each round with a rolling pin until it is

circular, even, and about 1/4 inch thick.

 

Cover and leave in a warm place to rise for 20 more minutes.

 

Preheat the oven to 450F.

 

Put 2 large oiled baking sheets in the oven to heat.

 

Brush the tops of the rounds with a little of the olive oil. Mix the

remaining oil with the zaatar and spread the mixture over the surface of

each round. Slide the bread onto the hot baking sheets and bake for 8-10

minutes.

 

Remove from the oven and place on wire racks to cool.
