Quick and Simple

Mix 1-2 tbsp of Hyssop Spice Mix (Zataar) with 1-2 tbsp Saha Extra Virgin Olive Oil and spread on warm toasted bread.  Top with freshly ground black pepper.  You can also top pita bread with the Zaatar and Extra Virgin Olive Oil mixture and bake in the oven to make pita crisps.

Or why not make your own Zaatar Pita Bread.

Ingredients

• 3 cups white flour
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 cup Saha Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 8 tbsp "Zaatar" Hyssop Spice Mix
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp active dry yeast

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 400 ^oF
• In a small bowl mix the yeast, the sugar and ¹/₄cup of warm water.  Let the yeast mixture sit for 15 minutes.
• Mix the flour and salt in a big bowl and add to the fermented yeast mixture.
• Start to knead the mixture into dough, while you gradually add the left ³/₄cup of warm water.
• Continue to knead the dough for about 8 minutes, until it turns into a firm, elastic dough. (if it's sticky add 1 or 2 tbsp flour)
• Now create a ball shape out of the dough, and cover the bowl with a towel.
• Let the dough ball swell for 1 hour, and then knead it for 2 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 8 balls.  Each one about the size of a ping-pong ball.
• Cover 7 balls with a towel, and leave 1 for rolling.
• Roll gently with a rolling pin until it is ¹/₄inch thick, and 7 inches in diameter.
• Try to keep the pita in a rounded, elegant shape.  Do the same with the other 7 balls.
• Line 2 baking trays with baking paper, and lightly grease with olive oil.  Place 4 pitas on each tray.
• Stab each pita in a few spots with a fork. (VERY IMPORTANT)
• Mix the olive oil and "Zaatar" in a bowl.  Then spread 3 tbsp of this mixture on each pita.
• Insert the first tray into an oven preheated to 400 ^oF.
• Let the pita "Zaatar" bake for 15 minutes and its ready!   Repeat with the second tray.
