Manakeesh (pronounced ‘m-naeesh’)



Is a popular Levantine food consisting of dough topped with thyme, cheese, or ground meat. Similar to a pizza, it can be sliced or folded, and it can either be served for breakfast or lunch.


The Dough:


2 Cups of Flour
1 Cup Water
2 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Sugar


Dead simple isn't it?


and this is how it ended up looking :



 As i cant be bothered to make sure if ive got equally
sized dough balls. I just cut the dough out as i would with slicing a pizza. And then i get 8 equal dough parts!




And Voila!


At this point i'd preheat the oven to gas mark 5/190C/375F

I had a couple of filling in hand

Feta with dried parsely












    Za'atar






Take on dough and
Try to roll it into a perfect circle. If you couldn't, dont worry i couldnt either lol!




 I really felt like cheddar so i grated some sprinkled some parsley and
black pepper.


Look at that right out of the oven yum yum!
15 mins later


Bonne Apettite!
