About Manakish with meat and cheese

Manakish with Meat and Cheese is a flavorful flatbread dish rooted in Middle Eastern cuisine, often enjoyed as a hearty breakfast or snack. The base is soft, freshly baked dough topped with ground spiced meat, typically lamb or beef, and a generous layer of savory cheese, such as Akkawi or mozzarella. Rich in protein and calcium, this dish provides essential nutrients that support muscle growth and bone health. The added spices, including sumac or za’atar, contribute antioxidants and unique flavors. However, its higher fat content stems from the meat and cheese, and the refined flour in the bread may lack fiber. While delicious and satisfying, moderation is key to balancing its indulgent nature with a healthy diet. Widely popular across Lebanon, Syria, and surrounding regions, this dish is a true fusion of comforting textures and bold tastes.
