“My wife made some bread from a North African recipe book…” (“old thyme Moroccan roll” joke)

“Old thyme Moroccan roll” is a pun on “old time rock and roll.” The song “Old Time Rock and Roll” (1979) by Bob Seger was featured in the Tom Cruise breakout film Risky Business (1983).

Do u make Moroccan rolls @bullcitystorm?
I saw a recipe and it looked good.  It calls for za’atar, which is mostly thyme.  But my za’atar is pretty old & stale, so I don’t know well the recipe will come out.
I need to know if people will still like that old thyme Moroccan roll.

Ever made Moroccan Rolls?
Recipe calls for thyme and a bunch of other spices we had but they were expired. We took them to a party, and they ended up all being eaten, everyone thought they were delicious.
I guess what they say is true.
People love that old thyme Moroccan roll.

I was looking for a good recipe for rolls for Thanksgiving, I found a recipe that comes from Morocco. It uses thyme as a seasoning, the recipe states that it must be past its expiration date. I know that sounds strange, but apparently people just love that old thyme Moroccan roll

Do any of you have experience making Moroccan Rolls?
I found a recipe in a magazine but I wasn’t sure about it because the recipe calls for thyme and a bunch of other spices. I had them all, but unfortunately they were all expired. I decided to make them anyways, took them to a party, and they ended up all being eaten, everyone thought they were delicious. I guess what they say is true.

I found a recipe from Morocco for homemade dinner rolls. It called for fresh thyme but mine was outdated. I used it anyway.
You know, as I reminisce, I really like that old thyme Moroccan roll.
