Za'atar and Olive Oil Breadsticks
These easy-to-make breadsticks are the perfect appetizer or snack. They're made with a simple pizza dough and flavored with za'atar, a Middle Eastern spice blend. The breadsticks are brushed with olive oil before baking, which gives them a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
Za'atar is a Middle Eastern spice blend that is made with a combination of thyme, oregano, marjoram, and sumac. It is a versatile spice that can be used to flavor a variety of dishes, including bread, meat, and vegetables. These breadsticks are a great way to use up leftover pizza dough and they're also a delicious way to try za'atar if you've never had it before.
