thumb|right|Za'atar bread Manakish (; singular '''man'ousheh''') is a popular Levantine pastry, consisting of dough topped with za'atar (), cheese (), or ground meat. It can be sliced or folded, and it can be served either for breakfast or lunch.
Traditionally, women would bake dough in a communal oven in the morning to meet their family's daily bread needs, and would prepare smaller portions of dough with different toppings for breakfast at this time. Saj and taboon are also common traditional cooking instruments for manakish.
