Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 110C/90C fan/gas 1/4. Put the pittas on top of each other on a chopping board. With a bread knife, cut them into quarters, then cut each quarter in half again (so you end up with 16 equal-sized triangles).

  • step 2

    Add the olive oil, a pinch of salt and the za’atar to a small bowl, and stir to combine. Using a pastry brush or your finger, coat the pittas on both sides with the mixture, then put them on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 30-40 mins until crisp.

RECIPE TIPS
ZA'ATAR

Here, za'atar is the term for the Middle Eastern spice mix made from a heady combination of herbs, spices and seeds; however, it's also the name of a herb itself. As with so much Middle Eastern cooking, there are many regional variations.

Yummy - I couldn't find round pittas, so used normal ones and cut them into more random shapes. Went really well with the courgette & tahini dip as part of the Lebanese mezze. I got my za'atar from Waitrose, but I've also seen it in Tesco...

I wouldn't call this a recipe: sprinkle ready-made bread with a ready-made spice mix. The 'tip' section says za'atar is a "spice mix made from a heady combination of herbs, spices and seeds". What combination of which herbs, spices and seeds?

My thoughts exactly! What a weird explanation without actually explaining what it is, especially as it's a recipe!
