Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, za'atar spice blend, yeast, and salt.
2. Add the olive oil and lukewarm water to the bowl. Mix until a soft dough forms.
3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

7. Cover the baking dish with a kitchen towel and let the dough balls rise for another 30 minutes.
8. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
9. Brush the melted butter over the risen dough balls, and generously sprinkle za'atar spice blend on top.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
11. Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving.
12. Serve the za'atar pull-apart rolls warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
