The Arab Bakery: Mana'eesh
2026-09-11 18:00 - 21:00 | the Pantry, 1417 NW 70th Street, Seattle, WA, 98117
A popular street food across Arab countries, mana’eesh (or manakish) are flatbreads topped with spices, cheese, seasoned meats, or veggies, and enjoyed hot out of the oven. A man’oushe — the singular form — can be sliced like a pizza or folded, the traditional way, into a wrap, and can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. In this class Nadia Tommalieh will teach you to roll and bake this childhood favorite in several preparations: one with za’atar and labaneh; another, lahmeh bi ajeen, featuring seasoned beef and pomegranate molasses; man’oushet jebneh hara, flavored with spicy akawai cheese; man’oushet el armaleh, topped with spiced onions, tomato, and sesame; and a sweet tahini man’oushe with date molasses and pistachio.

Join Nadia Tommalieh for a journey into the heart of Jordanian hospitality through its most iconic dish. In this class, you’ll explore the cultural roots and rituals surrounding mansaf as you learn to prepare it, from slowly braising lamb shanksin a rich, tangy sauce made from jameed (dried yogurt) to serving the lamb over turmeric- and ghee-scented rice, nestled on top of shrak, a delicate Bedouin flatbread. To complete your Jordanian table you’ll prepare galayet bandoura(sautéed ripe tomatoes with garlic, olive oil, and chili, served with crispy pita chips); zaiytoon (green olives marinated in lemon, jalapeño, turmeric, and olive oil); mkhalel left (bright pink pickled turnips in brine); and, for dessert, awameh(light, crispy dough balls soaked in orange blossom syrup and sprinkled with crushed pistachios).
