Preparation Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.

Let the Dough Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Prepare the Cheese Filling
In a bowl, mix together mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, and zaatar spice mix until well combined.

Assemble the Bread
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle. Spread the cheese filling over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll tightly and pinch the ends to seal.

Bake the Bread
Place the rolled dough seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with additional zaatar if desired. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool and Serve
