LEBANESE SPICED FLAT BREAD"Zataar (or zatar), a Middle Eastern spice mixture, covers this crisp bread with enough zesty flavor to make it a fine hors doeuvre all by itself. No dip or spread is needed."
FOR THE ZATAAR TOPPING:2 medium onions
2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
FOR THE DOUGH:1 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
1 3/4 cups bread flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup water
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Roast the onions in their skins 45 minutes.
Cool and chop into 1/4-inch dice. Mix the onions with the thyme, oregano, and pepper to make zataar. Leave the oven on.
While the onion is roasting, add all ingredients for the dough in the order suggested by your bread machine manual and process on the dough cycle according to the manufacturer's directions.
At the end of the dough cycle, remove the dough from the machine and divide in half. On a floured board with a floured rolling pin, roll each piece of dough into a 9-by-12-inch rectangle. Place each on a nonstick baking sheet and spread 1/2 of the zataar mixture over each.
Bake immediately 15 to 20 minutes, or until brown on the bottom as well as the top.
Serve whole. Each person breaks off a piece to eat with his or her hands.
Makes 2 (9-by-12-inch) flat breads, 8 servings each
