Zaatar-Spiced Flatbread Recipe

Ingredients

Makes 4 flatbreads

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup water
• olive oil, as needed
• 2 tablespoons zaatar spice blend

Method

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt and stir in as much of the water as needed until the dough holds together
2. Knead until smooth, about 5 minutes
3. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 15 minutes
4. Preheat the oven to 250°F
5. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces
6. Lightly flour your hands and shape each dough piece into balls
7. Flatten the balls on a lightly floured work surface, then roll out into circles about 1/4 inch thick
8. Brush the top surface of the dough circles with olive oil, then sprinkle with the zaatar spices, using your fingers to rub in the spices so they adhere to the dough
9. In a large skillet, heat a thin layer of oil over medium-high heat
10. Place a dough circle in the skillet and cook, turning once, until brown spots appear, about 3 minutes per side
11. Remove the cooked bread to a heat-proof platter, cover with foil and keep warm in the oven while you cook the rest
12. Repeat with the remaining dough and serve at once
