You mean cornmeal and not cornflour I am guessing ;)

I thought zataar was thyme, oregano, marjoram, roasted sesame seeds, sumac and salt?

By: SuperFatboy000
that is a great idea, the back of a wok over a grill I think would work best....hmmm I'm going to have to think of how to put this one together soon :)

you can make cheese manaeesh too, just top the dough with your favorite cheese and if you can find akawi cheese then it will taste super authentic :)

@virusboss93 you can top the dough with anything, check out my lahme bi ajeen recipe for the meat one, and for the cheese one just top the dough with your favorite cheese, preferrably akawi cheese :)

@jyothibg- try a little citric acid, it gives a good tartness, also mix it in extra virgin olive oil.

zaatar is just dried thyme, toasted sesame seeds, some sumac and salt :)
By: dedemed
By: dedemed
hi, please i need zaatar recipe
By: adorod
By: adorod
Well if you don't have sumac then you can just eliminate it and maybe squeeze some lemon on the zaatar after you finish baking it :)
By: dedemed
By: dedemed
hi, i have been trying out your recipes and I am eager to try out the zaatar. I remember eating some on my trip to abu dhabi. They used to make really fresh zaatars out there. I live in India and I dont think I have come across any store that sells sumac here. It would be wonderful if you can give me a substitute for the sumac. Thanks again for all your great videos
