How to Make Amazing Manakish and Cheese Bread

Learn how to make perfect dough and perfect filling for the most amazing Manakeesh/ Zatar Bread ever.
You will need:
for the dough,
810 g all purpose flour
1/2 cup olive oil
1 3/4 tbsp instant yeast
1 tbsp sugar
2 1/4 - 2 1/2 cups warm water
extra flour for the working surface
1 tbsp salt
*Zatar filling:
1 cup of zatar mix, you can find in any middle eastern store
add olive oil to the zatar until it forms a loose paste.
Cheese filling:
9 oz. Halloumi cheese
24 oz. Panela cheese
You can use Akawi or Nabulsi cheese as well
extra olive oil for brushing the bowl
cucumbers and tomatoes to serve.
Preparation:
Mix the instant yeast, sugar and two cups of warm water.
Set aside for 5-7 minutes to bloom.
Mix the flour and salt, add the oil then the water gradually
I ended up using the 2 1/4 cups of warm water.
Knead the dough for 5 minutes then cover and let it rest for 2 hours.
Mix the zatar with olive oil until it forms an loose paste.
Crumble the cheese into smaller pieces and set aside.
Shape the dough into 8 balls and let them rest covered for half an hour, then start shaping and rolling the dough one after another. When you finish the last one, you can work on the first adding your favorite toppings. I'm making cheese and zatar but you can top with eggs, pizza toppings anything you like.
Bake inside a hot cast iron pan at 500°F for 7 minutes and enjoy!

Your really are doing a fantastic job demonstrating these unique recipes. Thanks for the suggestions on the cheese combo. It's not easy to know about different cheeses that may work well. In California it seems hard to find very flavorful cheese. I really like this bread recipe. Thanks for posting.
