Za'atar Pinwheels

These za’atar pinwheels are inspired by a classic you’ll find in many Middle Eastern kitchens - soft bread brushed with olive oil and za’atar, baked until just set and fragrant.

They’re simple, comforting, and meant to be eaten without thinking too much about it. A quick breakfast, an after-school snack, something warm to grab as you’re heading out the door.

• 1 batch Dough Mix, 1/2 bag
• 2 cups shredded mozerella
• 1 egg

Filling

• 1/3-1/2 cup Za'atar Spice (purchased blend)
  • you can find many recipes online if you would like to make your own. We do not like to use a blend that is heavy in sumac. 
• Avocado Oil or Olive Oil

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare one batch (1/2 the bag) of the Dough Mix as directed on package.
2. Roll out dough on flat, nonstick surface (we like to use a silicon mat), with the palm of your hands into a rectangular shape about 1/4” thick. If using rolling pin, we recommend you place parchment paper on top of dough prior to rolling to avoid dough sticking.
3. Prepare the filling in a bowl and spread it over the dough, careful to not tear it. Roll up dough tightly and cut into 8-12 equal sized rolls – use a very sharp knife or string to cut the roll.  Begin in the center by cutting the roll in half, then cut each 1/4-1/2 into half and continue until you have 8-12 pieces. If using 8x8 square pan, cut into 16 smaller pieces to fit snuggly.
4. Bake for 25 minutes or until evenly brown on top. Once the cinnamon rolls are removed from the oven pour the cool syrup onto the rolls. 
   
5. Serve and Enjoy!
