Assabeh bel loz are Lebanese festive cookies made from thinly rolled whole-wheat pastry, filled with rosewater-flavored almonds, rolled into fingers and baked. Rolling without tearing the pastry and achieving an even color in the oven take practice.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the pastry

10 min

Rub the whole-wheat flour and melted butter together, then gradually add lukewarm water to make a soft dough.

2

Rest the pastry

20 min

Cover the dough and leave to rest for 20 minutes.

3

Make the filling

8 min

Mix the ground almonds with the confectioners' sugar and rosewater to make a pliable filling.

4

Shape

15 min

Roll the pastry thinly, spread with the almond filling and roll into a finger-thick log. Cut into equal pieces.

5

Bake

20 min

Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C / 355°F for 20 minutes, until lightly golden.

Reminder

Do not shape the pastry before resting it. Insufficiently rested pastry will tear as you roll it out. Allergens: contains gluten (whole-wheat flour), dairy (butter) and nuts (almonds).

Fırında 20 dakika değil 17 dakikada kurabiyeler hafif altın rengini aldı, benim fırınım biraz güçlü ısıtıyor sanırım; hamuru dinlendirme süresi olan 20 dakika ise tam yeterliydi, açarken hiç yırtılmadı.

Gül suyu yerine portakal çiçeği suyu kullandım, tat profili yine de hafif ve çiçeksi kaldı; badem harcının kıvamı da tam istediğim gibi yoğun oldu, herkes tekrar tekrar istedi.

Ne güzel bir ikame, portakal çiçeği suyu da gül suyuna çok yakın bir sonuç veriyor; badem harcının kıvamını tutturmanız da harika, deneyiminiz için teşekkürler.
