This week's recipe is for a bread that was common at feasts such as one would have at a wedding in Cana, upon the return of the prodigal, or in Gethsemane when the archetype of the holy meal was established. Zaatar is the only "exotic" ingredient, I think.
Preheat oven to 300°F.
Cover a loaf of flat bread with olive oil. Sprinkle zaatar and sumac over the oil. Bake the bread for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve with a fresh, spreadable goat cheese and a pot of black peppermint tea.
Yield: 6-8 servings
