I’m going to bake a test pc of the pastry only to see what our oven prefers😉. Looks like the Oven has the last word.

I’m mixing half oz with zaatar, white sesame seeds, thyme, kosher salt and ground black pepper for a dipping mix with olive oil for warmed bread and the other half oz. for lamb dishes.
What did you have in mind?

LOL, I need to get some of this now!
I wonder if I can make my mix. Too much spice at home, and can never finish using them on time.

Thx. Some dishes were made limited to what were left in the fridge. Trying the best to use up the ingredients.
Sure. I make mixes from whole spice I grind in a small coffee grinder or buy small oz batches pre ground. I placed a recent order with World Spice Merchants. Sumac, zaatar, mace, herbs de provence, hazelnut dukkah. Some blends in whole form, some single spice.

Do you have a good recipe of Zaatar?
I have both a small electric one, and a manual one, both coffee grinder for this usage. The electric one can mixed really fine, but needs a bigger batch.

I have only been cut by mine cleaning it. I was so mad last time I threw it out!
Thanks! I like the fact of drying fresh thyme, and the extra (Mexican) oregano seems like a good idea.
BTW, Mexican oregano vs Italian oregano, what’s the difference?
Ouch! Sorry for that! I always use a toothbrush for cleaning those tools.
