About Cheese manakeesh

Cheese Manakeesh is a savory flatbread dish originating from Levantine cuisine, particularly popular in countries like Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. This Middle Eastern staple features a soft, slightly chewy dough traditionally topped with a generous layer of cheese—often Akkawi or Halloumi—before being baked to golden perfection. Rich in flavor and texture, Cheese Manakeesh is a comforting breakfast or snack option. Nutritionally, it provides protein and calcium from the cheese, which contribute to bone health. However, it may be high in sodium and saturated fats, depending on the type of cheese used, so moderation is recommended. The dough’s carbohydrate content offers energy but may lack fiber unless whole-grain flour is used. Pairing it with a fresh salad or vegetables can enhance its nutritional value and balance out its indulgent qualities. A delicious taste of Levantine tradition, Cheese Manakeesh is an enjoyable treat that combines simplicity with cultural depth.
