We had zatar pull apart bread for dinner last week. We had to keep reminding ourselves that if we ate the whole loaf, it would be like eating two whole pizzas. So we controlled our appetites and ate half. I’m sure most of you saw my post last week on zatar and the insider’s guide on how to make it. This week I’ve slathered it on dough to bake into a delicious loaf of bread. We love zatar with yogurt and as I’m sure you can imagine, this zatar pull apart bread goes great with tomatoes as well. It’s a refreshing meal that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner and we have actually had it for all three!
