Easy Za'atar Pull-Apart Rolls Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.67 cup warm whole milk (110 degrees F (43 degrees C))
• 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 3.25 cups all-purpose flour, divided
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
• 2 eggs eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
• cooking spray
• 0.5 cup za'atar, divided
• 0.33 cup olive oil

Instructions

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let the mixture stand for 5 to 10 minutes, until foamy.
2. Beat the milk mixture on low speed. Add 1 cup of flour and beat until just combined. Incorporate the melted butter, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1/2 cup of flour; beat until combined. Beat in the eggs. Add the remaining 1 3/4 cups of flour and salt. Beat until a soft, sticky dough forms.
3. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray and add the dough. Cover loosely and let rise until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.
4. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
5. Gently punch down the dough. Pinch off 36 small pieces of dough and roll each into a ball.
6. In a bowl, whisk together 6 tablespoons of za'atar and 1/3 cup of olive oil. Dip each dough ball into the oil mixture, ensuring all sides are coated. Arrange 3 dough balls in each muffin cup. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of za'atar over the dough.
7. Cover the muffin tin loosely with greased plastic wrap. Allow the dough balls to rise until they puff up over the rim of the tin, about 25 minutes.
8. Bake in the preheated oven until the rolls are puffed up and golden brown, approximately 25 minutes. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then lift them out and cool briefly on a wire rack for another 5 minutes.
