Manakish with halloumi and tomato

thin, fluffy dough patties with tomato and cheese are simply divine, aren’t they? And I’m not necessarily talking about Italian pizza (which I also adore). I’m talking about the Levantine manouche or manakish (plural). In Lebanon and the region, manakish with zata’ar or “kishk” are classically prepared and offered fresh on almost every corner. But of course, they can also be prepared in any colourful combination, such as this manakish with halloumi and fresh tomatoes.
