Pita Bread & Zahter

Ingredients

4-6 fresh pita bread
1/4 cup olive oil
2-3 tblsps Zahter (or "za'atar") spice, found in Middle Eastern specialty import store or website
dash of coarse sea salt
pinch of fresh finely ground pepper
1 tblsp toasted sesame seeds

Procedure

Preheat oven to about 375 degrees. With the exception of the pita, put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk well. 


Lay the pita bread on a cookie sheet. Stir up the olive oil and zahter mixture well and brush on the tops of the pita, coating well. Bake in the hot oven about 4-5 minutes, taking care not to overcook as the pita will harden. Take out the pitas, and lay them on a cutting board; cut into triangles with a pizza cutter. Serve immediately to your guests with serving dishes and loads of napkins.
