Lebanese flat-bread with Zaatar

I usually just can't follow a recipe. I always feel the need for putting a personal twist on to it. But there is one source I would always trust when it comes to making bread.

This Lebanese flat-bread recipe comes from a blog called Papilles & Pupilles, which means 'buds and pupils', because you also eat food with your eyes, one of my favourite French cooking blog.
Anne from Papilles & Pupilles is a famous French blogger who is particularly talented for making bread. I am very happy to share this recipe with you beyond the French borders.



These Lebanese breads are very easy to make and deliciously soft and the Zaatar* brings beautiful middle-eastern flavours. The Zaatar is a traditional Lebanese mix of  spices and herbs, which includes oregano, thyme, sumac and sesame. If you can't find it in the shops, it easy to make yourself. The porportions vary from one region to another one in Lebanon, so just make it to suit your taste.

They are perfect to dip into freshly made hummus or to compliment lamb or any other middle-eastern flavoured meat on the barbecue.



My 4 years-old helped me making these, so when I say they are easy, I mean easy. A nice mum and son bonding time. For few minutes, dinosaurs were left out of the kitchen, for the greatest joy of my sensible ears.
