At Al’Deewan Bakery, we believe that the secret to exceptional Lebanese cuisine lies in tradition, authenticity, and the art of baking. Our open flame oven is the heart and soul of our bakery, bringing to life the rich flavors and aromas that define our beloved Manakeesh. From the moment you walk through our doors, the enticing scent of freshly baked bread and the sight of our skilled bakers at work create an inviting atmosphere that promises a culinary experience like no other.

The Magic of the Open Flame Oven

The open flame oven, or “furn,” is an integral part of traditional Lebanese baking. This ancient method of baking uses wood or gas flames to heat the oven to high temperatures, creating the perfect environment for baking bread. The direct heat from the flames ensures that the bread is cooked evenly, resulting in a delightful combination of a crispy crust and a soft, airy interior.

At Al’Deewan Bakery, our open flame oven is meticulously maintained to ensure optimal performance. The flames dance and flicker, providing a mesmerizing visual as well as a consistent source of heat that infuses our Manakeesh with a unique, smoky flavor that cannot be replicated by modern ovens.

The Aroma of Fresh Manakeesh

One of the most enchanting aspects of our bakery is the irresistible aroma of fresh Manakeesh wafting through the air. As the dough meets the intense heat of the open flame oven, it begins to rise and brown, releasing a symphony of scents that captivate the senses. The smell of baking bread, mingling with the earthy fragrance of zaatar, the rich scent of melting cheese, and the savory aroma of spiced meats, creates an olfactory experience that transports you straight to the heart of Lebanon.

This tantalizing aroma is more than just a precursor to a delicious meal; it is a warm invitation to our customers, beckoning them to come closer and indulge in the culinary delights that await. The smell of fresh Manakeesh is a testament to the care and craftsmanship that goes into each and every piece, promising a taste experience that is both authentic and unforgettable.

Crafting the Perfect Manakeesh

Our skilled bakers are masters of their craft, using time-honored techniques to create the perfect Manakeesh. Each piece begins with freshly prepared dough, which is hand-rolled to achieve the ideal thickness. The dough is then generously topped with high-quality ingredients, such as zaatar mixed with olive oil, a blend of Lebanese cheeses, or a savory meat mixture.

Once prepared, the Manakeesh is carefully placed into the open flame oven, where it bakes to perfection in a matter of minutes. The intense heat from the flames ensures a crisp, golden crust while preserving the moisture and flavor of the toppings. The result is a deliciously balanced flatbread that is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and bursting with authentic Lebanese flavors.
