Start by taking 2 cups of all-purpose flour in a bowl.

Add a pinch of sugar and salt to the flour.

Pour in warm water and mix until combined.

Knead the mixture until soft and smooth, ensuring it is not too hard.

Cover the dough and let it rise until doubled in size.

Prepare the toppings by mixing fresh herbs, black sesame seeds, and white sesame seeds in a bowl.

Add a bit of olive oil to the topping mixture and mix well.

Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a flat shape, similar to pizza dough.

Spread the topping mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.

Let the topped dough rest for 10-15 minutes before baking.

Preheat the oven and bake the manakish until golden brown.
