Homemade Zaatar Manakeesh is a vibrant Middle Eastern flatbread, originating from Levantine cuisine, prized for its simple yet rich flavors. The dough is traditionally made from flour, yeast, olive oil, salt, and water, rolled thin and topped with a blend of zaatar—a fragrant mix of dried thyme, sumac, sesame seeds, and salt—combined with extra virgin olive oil. This dish is oven-baked to golden perfection, offering a warm, crispy base topped with the earthy, tangy, and nutty zest of zaatar. Nutritionally, Manakeesh is a source of carbohydrates and healthy fats, thanks to the olive oil and sesame seeds. Zaatar’s thyme and sumac contribute antioxidants, offering potential health benefits. While wholesome and flavorful, the dish’s sodium content can increase if extra salt is added, and portion control is key for those monitoring caloric intake. Ideal for breakfast or a light snack, it’s a comforting taste of Middle Eastern tradition.
