Preparation
- Start by washing and thinly slicing your tomato and cucumber. Gently pluck the fresh mint leaves from their stems.
- In a small bowl, combine the zaatar spice mix with a generous drizzle of olive oil. Stir until you have a fragrant, spreadable paste.
- Take one piece of White Arabic Bread. If you like, you can lightly warm it in a pan for a few seconds on each side to make it more pliable.
- Spread a thin layer of cream cheese over the entire surface of the bread. This adds a lovely creaminess and helps hold everything together.
- Next, spread the zaatar and olive oil mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Arrange the sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and fresh mint leaves down the center of the bread.
- Carefully roll up the bread tightly from one end to the other, creating a neat wrap.
- You can slice the wrap in half diagonally for easier handling and a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, homemade Zaatar Wrap!
Pro Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, you can lightly toast the Arabic bread in a dry pan or on a griddle before assembling.
- Feel free to add other fresh herbs like parsley or a sprinkle of sumac for an extra tangy kick.
- If you don't have fresh mint, a tiny pinch of dried mint (from the inventory!) can work in a pinch, but fresh is always best for this wrap!
