Instructions: Real zataar bread requires making a yeast dough and a lot of rolling and baking. This quick version makes a great hors doeuvres or snack and retains the flavor, if not the texture, of the Middle Eastern original.

In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup zataar spice mix with 1/2 cup olive oil and set aside.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Have two cookie sheets ready.

Spread the zataar and olive oil mixture on one side of eight 6 inch pita rounds.

Place pita rounds on cookie sheets. Bake until pita bread is heated through and just beginning to crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before cutting each round into six wedges. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Tips: This party-sized recipe makes 48 pieces. A hummus, eggplant, or yogurt dip is a nice accompaniment. Buy the freshest pita bread you can find for maximum flavor.
