Breakfast: منقوشة زعتر (Man’ousheh Za’atar) – Za’atar Flatbread

Breakfast منقوشة زعتر (Man’ousheh Za’atar) is a warm, chewy flatbread topped with a fragrant blend of za’atar (thyme, sumac, sesame) and olive oil. At MUNCH CLASSES, you’ll learn how to knead, stretch, and bake this Levantine classic.

The man’ousheh is Lebanon’s most iconic breakfast, sold in bakeries and street stalls across the country. The saying “منقوشة الصباح، فرحة الروح والانشراح” (“Man’ousheh in the morning, joy for the soul and delight”) reflects its beloved place in daily life. We explore its role in school mornings, road trips, and family tables.
