Method
Heat the oven to 220 °C (or use a hot pan with a lid).
Mix the za’atar with the olive oil and spread it over each flatbread.
Tear 2 Fikra Herbs slices over each bread so the cheese covers the za’atar.
Bake for 6–8 minutes until the edges are crisp and the cheese has melted.
Serve hot with cucumber slices and mint.
Chef’s tip: Fold the manakish in half straight from the oven for a melty breakfast wrap to go.
Kidney tip: white flatbread is lower in phosphorus than whole-wheat. Fikra adds the cheesy taste with zero protein.
