Za'atar Bread

Ingredients

• 1 package active dry yeast , .25 ounce
• 2 cups warm water , 110 degrees F (43 degrees C
• 6 cups bread flour
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 4 tablespoons za'atar
• 4 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl. Mix in 3 cups flour and salt. Stir in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.

2. 2

   Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead until smooth, about 10 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl; turn to coat with oil. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

3. 3

   Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).

4. 4

   Divide dough into 16 equal pieces and form into rounds. Roll into 1/4-inch-thick circles. Poke rounds with your fingers to create small indentations.

5. 5

   Mix za'atar and olive oil together in a small bowl. Spread over circles. Place on ungreased baking sheets.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven until dough is golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
