Manakish is a popular Middle Eastern dish, particularly in Lebanon and Syria. It consists of a flatbread topped with various ingredients, most commonly za'atar (a blend of herbs, sesame seeds, and sumac) or cheese. The dough is rolled out and baked until golden, making it a delicious and versatile snack or meal. Often enjoyed for breakfast or as a street food, Manakish can be served plain or with additional toppings like olives, tomatoes, or ground meat. It is typically enjoyed warm and can be found in bakeries and restaurants throughout the region, showcasing its cultural significance and widespread appeal.
