By Maureen Abood On October 2, 2019 · 4 Comments · In Breads, Fall, Vegetarian, Winter, Yogurt, Labneh and Laban, Your Favorites
 Za’atar Swirl Bread showcases the fabulous flavor of za’atar in a delicate bread enriched with eggs and olive oil. The method to the glorious twisted loaves is straightforward and very doable! Dan, upon tasting za’atar swirl bread: This bread has it ALL. (chews a big bite) This bread has flavor. I can taste the za’atar. [...]

Pastel Dipped Shortbread (Graybeh)

By Maureen Abood On April 6, 2019 · 4 Comments · In Easter, Pastry and Sweets, Your Favorites
Pastel dipped shortbread are melt-away Lebanese butter cookies, dressed up in a dip of white chocolate, naturally flavored and colored with freeze-dried fruit–blueberry for lavender and strawberry for pink. Try my other graybeh recipes: orange blossom-lavendar graybeh, classic graybeh, and almond graybeh. Find orange blossom water here. I’ve been searching for a whole lotta years [...]

Bread and Butter Sweet Pickle Chips

By Maureen Abood On September 7, 2018 · 12 Comments · In Gluten-Free, Maza, Appetizers and Dips, Preserves and Pickles, Summer, Techniques, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian, Your Favorites
My bread and butter sweet pickle chips are so simple to make, but huge on flavor and crunch. The sweet onion is as delicious as the cucumbers in these refrigerator pickles. Here’s the thing about the abundance of the last three months up north in Michigan: Yes, we’ve had that long-awaited access to local fruit [...]

Lebanese cheese flatbreads

Mini Cheese Flatbreads with Mint

By Maureen Abood On June 14, 2018 · 20 Comments · In Breads, Drinks, Maza, Appetizers and Dips, Vegetarian, Yogurt, Labneh and Laban, Your Favorites
These mini cheese flatbreads with mint are a Lebanese tradition, part of the mana’eesh, the man’oushe flatbread family and just one of the many variations of toppings used. I love making cheese flatbreads in little rounds using my fatayar dough recipe, party-ready and so soft and tender. The topping is out-of-this-world flavorful, with halloumi, labne, [...]

Za'atar flatbread on a pizza peel, Maureen Abood

A new Za’atar Flatbread recipe to love

By Maureen Abood On October 5, 2017 · 8 Comments · In Breads, Maza, Appetizers and Dips, Stories and Recipes, Techniques, Vegan, Vegetarian, Yogurt, Labneh and Laban, Your Favorites
This za’atar flatbread recipe originates as a pizza dough recipe and has the ultimate thin yet soft and chewy crust. Hands down this dough makes the best za’atar flatbread I’ve ever made or eaten, and a tremendous pizza! Bonus: you can make the dough in advance. We all have them, or at least I hope [...]

Garlic Butter Glazed Talami Bread

By Maureen Abood On April 15, 2016 · 38 Comments · In Breads, Maza, Appetizers and Dips, Techniques, Your Favorites
Eureka! Truly an exceptionally simple method for Lebanese talami bread that yields a light, airy, perfect loaf. I’ve published other recipes for talami, but this one is IT. I really don’t get super gadget-happy in my kitchen. Gotta have sharp knives. Lots of dish towels. A lemon reamer, GOT TO. Anyone who’s ever made Lebanese [...]

Lavender-Orange Blossom Shortbread Recipe (Lebanese Graybeh)

By Maureen Abood On February 22, 2014 · 16 Comments · In Pastry and Sweets, Stories and Recipes
Lebanese graybeh are a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth shortbread cookies. They take beautifully to the flavor combination of lavender and orange blossom! I recently spoke to a group of high school students about life as a writer. They were having a whole week of writerly immersion, to encourage the idea that writing isn’t just about that pain-in-the-neck [...]

Date Nut Bread Recipe, and learning to fly solo

By Maureen Abood On January 15, 2014 · 32 Comments · In Breads, Pastry and Sweets, Stories and Recipes, Vegetarian
  When I went to culinary school a few years ago, I wanted to make a change as much as I wanted to cook great food. I left the job I’d been working in Chicago for years, left the neighborhood where I’d been living all those years too, and headed west to San Francisco. Growing [...]
