No-Yeast Whole Wheat Za'atar Bread

This simple whole wheat bread requires no yeast or rising time, so you can have a freshly baked loaf in practically no time at all!

The generous addition of buttermilk also tenderizes the bread without any detectable tang. Finish the dough off with a decent sprinkle of za'atar and white sesame seeds for a perfectly crisp and flavorful crust.
