Za-atar Bread

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons za-atar seasoning
• 1/2 cup warm water
• Additional olive oil, for brushing

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the olive oil and za-atar seasoning, and mix until combined.
3. Slowly add the warm water, a few tablespoons at a time, and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it is smooth and pliable.
4. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Place the circles on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Brush the circles with olive oil and sprinkle with additional za-atar seasoning. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
6. Serve warm with your favorite dips and spreads.
