Manakish with Za’atar

Manakish is a beloved Lebanese breakfast flatbread topped with a fragrant mixture of za’atar (a blend of thyme, sumac, and sesame), olive oil, and sometimes cheese. This spring version is light and aromatic, perfect for morning enjoyment with fresh lemon juice and warm tea. The crispy-bottomed, soft-centered bread is a comforting staple that starts the day right.
