Manakish

Manakish, or man'ousheh in its singular form, or other spellings, is a popular Levantine dish made of dough topped with thyme, cheese, or ground meat. It can be sliced or folded like a pizza, and it can be served for breakfast or lunch.

As a local favourite, this is a very popular Lebanese snack. It is a flatbread packed with loads of cheese and is cooked in a huge oven. You can further add any vegetables, meats or oils and spices on the top as you want.

Women would traditionally bake dough in a communal oven in the morning to provide their family with daily bread, and then prepare smaller portions of dough with various toppings for breakfast.

Manakish are popular throughout the Levant, as well as in neighboring regions and Levantine emigration hotspots.
