What brand of za’atar do you traditionally use???
The video is at the top of this post. If you have trouble seeing it please let me know it is also on Facebook and Instagram.
The base can be made from the bottom cut outs. In the video we got a little extra fancy with some overlays. But you can pull out those strips from the base of dough as you cut.
The recipe calls for enough dough to make the circle which becomes the candles and shamash. After that is made you show a base but recipe doesn’t call for extra dough to make it.
Is there a video to show how to make the menorah out of the dough?
It’s pizza dough. You can either make your own or find it at many grocery stores or ask your local pizza shop to sell you some dough.
Where do you get the dough for the base?
