Man'oushe

Cultural Context

Originating in Lebanon, Man'oushe is a traditional flatbread often enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack. It is a staple in Lebanese cuisine, typically topped with za'atar, cheese, or various fillings, reflecting the region's rich agricultural heritage. Today, it has gained popularity beyond Lebanon, with variations found throughout the Middle East and among diaspora communities worldwide.
