Best Zaatar Sourdough Pasta Recipes
ZA'ATAR SOURDOUGH PASTA
Embedded into the pasta dough, the herbal and lemony flavors of za'atar are soft but consistent. The pasta is flavorful enough to simply toss with oil and maybe a little parmesan cheese, but it also pairs quite nicely with a garlicky marinara sauce. Use water for softer pasta, or use an egg instead for a more firm pasta.

Steps:
- Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl. I used rye starter discard for the pasta in these photos and it was rather delicate. My next batch was with an all purpose flour starter for a chewier texture, and adding an egg instead of water firms up the pasta further
- Knead the dough for about 5 minutes on a flat surface, adding flour or water if needed. You want the dough to be tough but not breaking as you work it.
- Wrap the dough and let it rest for at least 30 minutes or longer if you'd like the flour to ferment.
- If you're using a pasta roller, you can expect to make eight short sheets from this recipe. I like to roll out four sheets, then cut them into fettuccine; and then repeat with the other half of the pasta dough. You can also roll the pasta dough into 1-2 flat sheets with a rolling pin, heavily flour the dough sheet on both sides, then roll it into a tube and cut fettuccine strips with a sharp knife.
- Hang the fettuccine on a pasta drying rack or toss with plenty of flour on a large baking sheet.
- Bring 4-6 quarts of salted water to a boil, add the pasta to the boiling water, and let it cook for 2-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pasta.
- Drain and serve immediately with olive oil, fresh herbs, and parmesan cheese. The za'atar flavor also pairs quite well with marinara sauce.
ZA'ATAR BREAD
These are known in the Middle East as mana'eesh. Homemade dough is topped with za'atar, a spice mixture composed of sesame seeds, oregano, marjoram, and thyme.

Steps:
- Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 3 cups flour and salt. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Turn dough out on a lightly floured work surface. Knead until smooth, about 10 minutes. Grease a large bowl. Place dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
- Divide dough into 16 equal pieces and form into rounds. Roll into 1/4-inch-thick circles. Poke rounds with your fingers to create small indentations.
- Mix za'atar and olive oil together in a small bowl. Spread over circles. Place on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until dough is golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes.

ZA'ATAR
Za'atar is the name for both a traditional Middle Eastern seasoning blend and the pungent green herb that gives the blend its intense, earthy character. The hardy herb, which grows wild, tastes like a combination of oregano, marjoram, summer savory and thyme - all of which can be used as substitutes if dried za'atar isn't available. As with all spice blends, recipes vary widely depending on the region and the cook, but this one, adapted from Lior Lev Sercarz of La Boîte in New York, includes ground sumac berries for acidity, toasted sesame seeds for their rich, earthy notes, and a little salt as well. Za'atar can be used in marinades for grilled or roasted poultry or meats, mixed into dips, salads and egg dishes, or set on the table to be sprinkled on dishes as a bright and herby condiment.

ZA'ATAR
Za'atar, the Middle Eastern spice mixture is so delicious we suggest doubling the recipe and using the extra for a snack: Dunk some bread (such as pita) in flavorful olive oil and then in the za'atar.
