1-1/3 cups water
2-1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1-1/4 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 teaspoons Zatar
3-1/2 cups bread flour
2 tsp. rapid or quick yeast

Zaatar is a Mediterranean herb mixture comprised mainly of Oregano and Thyme. It is usually found in small foil packets in the specialty section of the supermarket.

Place all ingredients in your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. In our machine, we add water first (then proceed down the list in order given).

Set the machine on the "Quick" setting if using Rapid-Rise yeast; or use the "Basic" setting when using traditional yeast. Set for medium crust color and that's it!

Yield: One 1 3/4 lb. loaf
