Wood-fired Oven at 185
Join Danny and Johnny Dubbaneh, the brothers behind the acclaimed Z&Z Manoushe Bakery, as they take you on a journey through the rich culinary heritage of the Levant. In this engaging session, you'll uncover the art of crafting the beloved mana'eesh, a traditional flatbread that is a staple of Lebanese, Palestinian, and Jordanian cuisine.

Mana'eesh, the plural of manoushe, derives from the root verb "to sculpt" or "to carve out," reflecting the unique process of pressing the dough with fingertips to create little dips for the toppings to settle into. The Dubbaneh brothers will share their wealth of knowledge, discussing the history and cultural significance of mana'eesh, as well as the secrets to crafting what they consider one of the world's best breakfast foods.

You'll learn about classic toppings such as the fragrant herb blend za'atar, creamy labneh, and the savory delight of lahm bi ajeen (minced meat). This session promises to immerse you in the flavors and techniques of the Levantine culinary tradition, leaving you with a newfound appreciation for the art of mana'eesh.
