Mana'ish is the plural of Man'oushe in Arabic. It's the precursor to pizza or focaccia. A pita dough very yeasty, with zaatar on top baked in a very hot coal/brick oven. Variations include Syrian cheese, tomato and even a baked egg.
I usually buy pizza dough from the local pizzeria but decided to make my own with a mix of tipo 00 and bread flour and a package of yeast. I used my new toy; an Emile Henri pizza stone and preheated the convection oven to its highest setting 550f.
The results were pretty good, not on par with the best pita places in Jaffa, Acco, or Nazareth but perfectly acceptable. We ate them for breakfast with some freshly squeezed orange juice.
