Mankouche, a beloved staple of Levantine cuisine, is a traditional flatbread commonly enjoyed across the Middle East, particularly in Lebanon. It is made using a simple dough comprising flour, water, yeast, and salt, which is then rolled thin and baked on a saj or in a hot oven. Topped with a variety of ingredients, the classic version features za'atar—a mix of thyme, sesame seeds, sumac, and olive oil—adding rich flavor and nutritional benefits like antioxidants and heart-healthy fats. Variations may include cheese, vegetables, or meats. While mankouche provides energy from its carbohydrate content and essential fats from the olive oil, moderation is key, as it can be calorie-dense depending on toppings. Often consumed as a quick breakfast or snack, it offers a satisfying blend of taste and tradition, embodying the essence of Middle Eastern comfort food.
