Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Toast the sesame seeds in a dry small frying pan over medium heat, shaking the pan, until pale golden and fragrant, 2-3 min. Tip them onto a plate to cool.

2. 2

   Rub the dried thyme between your fingers into a bowl to crumble it finely.

3. 3

   Add the sumac, salt and cooled sesame seeds and stir. Lightly crush the seeds with the back of a spoon so they cling to the bread.

4. 4

   Spoon 3-4 tbsp of the za'atar into a shallow dish. Store the rest in a jar with a tight lid.

5. 5

   Pour the olive oil into a second dish.

6. 6

   Tear off a piece of pita, dip it in the oil, then press it into the za'atar and eat right away.
