Mankousheh or the plural manakish, are very well known in Lebanon and other Arab countries. It’s dough and on it thyme (za3tar) or cheese or kishek and then baked sometimes in the oven sometimes on “Saj” like you see on the picture below. Manakish belong to the patrimonium of the country and all over Lebanon you can find small bakeries making them. Our senior citizens love to make their own mankouseh, and that’s what they did today in a very enjoyable atmosphere.

I remember making Manakish myself once in a camp also on Saj, it was a great experience, and boy did they test good!
