What is Manakeesh?
Manakeesh, often referred to as the Lebanese pizza, is a round flatbread typically topped with a variety of ingredients. The dough is soft yet slightly crispy, providing the perfect base for a myriad of toppings that range from savory to sweet. It is traditionally enjoyed for breakfast but can be savored at any time of the day.
The Al’Deewan Bakery Manakeesh Experience
At Al’Deewan Bakery, we take pride in our authentic approach to making Manakeesh. Our process begins with preparing the dough, a blend of high-quality flour, water, yeast, and a pinch of salt, kneaded to perfection and allowed to rise until it achieves the ideal texture. Each piece of dough is hand-rolled and then topped with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
