Pita Bread and Za’atar Mixture

Method

Preparation and Toasting

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a small bowl, combine the za'tar spice blend and sesame seeds.

  2. 2

    Add Olive Oil

    Drizzle the olive oil into the za'tar and sesame seed mixture. Stir until well combined.

  3. 3

    Prepare Pita Bread

    Cut each pita bread in half to create pockets or leave them whole for a crispier texture.

  4. 4

    Brush the Mixture

    Using a brush, evenly spread the za'tar and olive oil mixture over the surface of each pita.

  5. 5

    Toast the Pita

    Preheat a skillet or grill over medium heat. Toast the pita on both sides until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve warm, either whole or cut into wedges.
