🥄 Zaatar Rolls

For a long time, Zaatar Rolls have my family’s comfort snack. A batch only lasts for a couple of hours, that’s if we don’t finish all the bites by “trying them” on the kitchen counter.

Ingredients
🌀 3 cups all-purpose flour
🌀 3 tbsp baking powder
🌀 ¼ cup olive oil
🌀 ¼ cup vegetable oil
🌀 1 cup orange juice
🌀 pinch of salt
🌀 1 tbsp orange zest (~ 1 orange)
🌀 ¼ cup chopped olives
🌀 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme or 1 tbsp dried thyme

Preparation
🌀 Heat your oven 175°C. Prepare a baking pan with parchment paper.
🌀 In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, pinch of salt, chopped olives, fresh thyme, and dried thyme (if using). Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
🌀 In another bowl, add the olive and vegetable oil, orange juice, and orange zest until well combined.
🌀 Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, and mix using a spatula or spoon until a dough is formed.
🌀 Flatten parts of the dough on a lightly floured surface using a rolling pin then roll to form a log. Once rolled, cut the log into even pieces and place them on the prepared baking pan.
🌀 Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
🌀 Serve warm, at room temperature or even cold.

⭐️ Serving suggestion: Serve with labne or cream cheese. ⭐️
