Ready to Make Your Breakfast Iconic with Zaatar Manakesh? Let’s Go!

Okay, hold up, everyone. Let’s talk about the OG of Middle Eastern breakfasts: Zaatar Manakesh. If you haven’t had this crispy, herby, zesty goodness yet, then baby, you are seriously missing out! Let’s be real, Zaatar Manakesh is basically the Beyoncé of flatbreads—effortlessly iconic and always leaving you wanting more.

We’re talking warm, fluffy dough slathered with a generous layer of zaatar, that magical blend of thyme, sumac, sesame seeds, and all the goodness that makes your taste buds do a happy dance. The zaatar isn’t just sprinkled on top—oh no, honey—it’s like a freakin’ blanket of flavor wrapped around each bite. You’ll be thinking about it long after you’ve devoured the last piece, trust.

Wake up your taste buds with Zaatar Manakesh.

Zaatar Manakesh is the kind of food that makes you wonder why we even bother with anything else for breakfast. Like, why settle for boring toast when you could have THIS? I mean, seriously. 

And let’s talk about the versatility. Want to keep it classic? Just zaatar and olive oil, baby. Feeling a bit extra? Add a little labneh or some salty cheese to the mix. Now you’ve got yourself a flavor explosion that’ll have you dancing in the kitchen. 

Oh, and did I mention how easy it is to make? You don’t need to be some sort of bread wizard to pull this off. It’s basically foolproof. All you need is some dough (store-bought or homemade—no judgment here!), your zaatar blend, a splash of olive oil, and you’re golden. Bake it until the edges are crispy and the zaatar is all toasty and fragrant. You might want to make two because trust me, one will disappear faster than you can say “Manakesh.”

Every bite is a journey to the heart of the Levant!

Pro Tip: If you’re like me and want to live on the wild side, drizzle a little honey on top after it’s out of the oven. Sweet, savory, herby—YES PLEASE.
