Vegan Za’atar Bagels with Tzatzki Cream Cheese
Hello & Happy Friday
When it comes to the weekend I love a good pancake, biscuit or bagel recipe! Since we’ve created upwards of 10 different vegan bagels I was on the hunt for the next best concept and I just knew, we had to do a Za’atar bagel!
What is Za’atar?
If you’ve every experienced Za’atar, you instantly become infatuated with it and are dreaming of what can put it on next. Za’atar is so multifaceted and dynamic because it’s a blend of so many different flavors, textures, and fragrances. Even though it varies greatly depending on where you are in the Middle East (specific recipes are sometimes closely-guarded secrets!), za’atar is generally a combination of dried oregano, thyme, and/or marjoram (woodsy and floral), with sumac (tangy and acidic) and toasted sesame seeds (nutty and rich).
So once you understand the love for all things Za’atar, these new vegan Za’atar Bagels with Tzatzki Cream Cheese just make sense! Tzatzki is typically dairy based, features cucumbers and dill. You’ll find it on the menu with everything from greek to middle eastern and persian dining concepts. It just pairs seamlessly with Za’atar, so a Tzazki cream cheese just made sense!
What’s great about this recipe? Everything! It’s my staple bagel recipe base, it takes only 5 minutes of kneading, 60 mins to rise, 5 mins of kneading, so easy, Za’atar adds aesthetic appeal, tons of flavor, its perfect for any season, dense yet buttery soft, these can be made overnight, and they pair so good with the Tzatzki Cream Cheese and are great for brunch entertaining!
If you love all things Za’atar, or just an easy homemade bagel, you have to try these new vegan Za’atar Bagels with Tzatzki Cream cheese!
Why this recipe is great:

Love the recipe , just wish you would stop pushing the “vegan” part some of us love to experience the world for all it offers to us, and while you may not agree/like it there are those of us that do eat the tissue of once living things.( just like you) so if you could find it in your heart to stop excluding us we would appreciate it. Thank you.
Hi Jay! Thanks for the feedback. I completely agree, but the focus is on plant based cuisine. In order to cater to everyone, adding vegan to a recipe title indicates that the recipe is made sans animal products. You can always sub ingredients for the traditional non vegan options. I
