Mannaeesh (Bread)

A soft Lebanese bread prepared with a wheat bread flour dough that is shaped into a flat, 5-inch round with a concave surface. The concave surface is filled with an herb, spice, and seed blend known as za’atar, which is a combination of thyme, marjoram, sesame seeds, and ground sumac. Some recipes may omit the sumac because some people do not care for the strong, sour flavor it provides. Mannaeesh is also known as mankoush.
