Ingredients

  • FOR THE DOUGH:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 50 gm butter
  • 2 tbsp garlic paste
  • 2 tsp zaatar - dried thyme

Instructions

  • First let's prepare the dough. Mix all the ingredients except the oil in a large bowl and knead into a smooth dough.
  • Finally knead well again with oil. Cover the bowl with a muslin cloth and keep aside for 1 hour or till it doubles in size.
  • Soften the butter. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well until combined. Keep aside.
  • Grease an 8 inch cake pan well and set aside.
  • Once the dough doubles in size, punch the dough and divide into two balls.
  • Flatten one ball into a large rectangular shape.
  • Spread the garlic zaatar butter into the center
  • Roll the dough to represent a long tube. Cut into four pieces and place in the pan.
  • Do the same thing with the remaining dough.
  • Keep closed with a muslin cloth for further 20-25 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 170 degrees.
  • Pull out the pan, sprinkle sesame seeds lavishly and brush lightly with milk.
  • Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes till a golden crust develops. Serve warm!!!
