It is typically made with refined white flour. The flour base is usually topped with a mixture of thyme, sumac and sesame seeds. The toppings of Zaatar Manakish contain nutrients that help balance glucose levels. But, it is important to consider the impact of refined flour on blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n<p>How to optimally consume Zaatar Manakish<br \/>\n\u2022 Consider having only half a Zaatar Manakish per serving. You can pair this with a cooked protein, such as chicken shish taouk or grilled cottage cheese.<br \/>\n\u2022 Consider making Zaatar Manakish using different types of flour. For example, almond or other such low-carb flour.<br \/>\n\u2022 You can also make a bread-free version of Zaatar Manakish. This can be done by cooking chicken or cottage cheese in Zaatar spices. <\/p>\n<p>The refined flour base of the Zaatar Manakish has a lot of carbohydrates. It also lacks fibre. Consuming it can make it difficult for the body to regulate blood glucose. Also, refined white flour ranks high on the glycemic index. It is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and can cause a spike in blood glucose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nutrition"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.3 (Yoast SEO v25.3) -
