Bring a bit of tasty Middle Eastern flavor into your kitchen with the easiest Zaatar Bread Recipe ever. It’s a semi-homemade recipe that relies on store-bought pizza dough (believe it or not, this dough is nearly identical to the one you’d find in Middle Eastern kitchens) and high-quality Za’atar seasoning. Eat it alone, dipped in labne or as part of a brunch spread with our spiced roasted chickpeas recipe.

Ingredients
- 1 whole premade pizza dough (these are usually found in the refrigerated section of your local supermarket)
- 1 whole egg
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp za’atar seasoning blend (we love this one best)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
- Unwrap your refrigerated pizza dough and coat it gently in a bit of olive oil (I like to use an olive oil mister for this so it’s not too oily).
- Divide the dough into 6 equal sections
- On a wood cutting board or non-stick surface, begin to roll each section into a long, thin piece
- Hold each section from the middle point, and then twirl the “legs” around to form a sort of semi-braided strand. Place on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Crack your egg into a bowl with a teaspoon of water and mix. Use this egg wash to coat the tops of your bread twists.
- Sprinle generously with za’atar seasoning.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes (or until golden brown on the top).
Notes: I love serving these with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and flaked sea salt or with rich, herb-infused labne (the traditional Middle Eastern way) as a dip.
