Step 1

In a bowl, combine the warm water and yeast and set aside until it activates and becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift the flour.

Step 3

Add the sugar, spices, milk and yeast/water mixture to the flour.

Step 4

Combine until it begins to resemble a dough. You can use an electric mixer with dough attachment to do this or you can do it by hand.

Step 5

Remove dough from bowl. Place on a floured bench top and knead until it becomes a soft, smooth dough (about 10 minutes).

Step 6

Set aside in an oiled bowl, cover and leave to rest for about 1 hour.

Step 7

In the meantime, roll bocconcini balls in the zataar and set aside.

Step 8

Once dough has rested, knead for a few minutes to let out air bubbles and roll out into a thick log about 40cm long and 3cm thick. Then divide the dough into 14 one inch thick pieces.

Step 9

Flatten each dough piece onto an oiled wooden mould to create the more traditional patterned flat bread and bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 10

If making bread rolls, then flatten each piece (by hand or using a rolling pin).

Step 11

Place a zataar coated bocconcini ball onto a flattened piece of dough. Wrap the dough around the bocconcini and roll with hands to make a dough bread roll shape.

Step 12

Repeat and place each roll onto a baking paper lined oven proof tray.

Step 13

Preheat oven to 170ºC.

Step 14

Brush each piece of dough roll with some melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cover the tray with plastic wrap and a tea towel and set aside for another 1/2 hour.

Step 15

After 1/2 hour bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
