Assabeh bel loz is a Lebanese holiday cookie made by wrapping thin whole wheat dough around a rose-water-scented almond filling and rolling it into finger shapes before baking. Rolling the dough without tearing it and getting an even golden colour in the oven both take real skill.
Rub the whole wheat flour together with the melted butter, then work in the lukewarm water a little at a time to form a soft dough.
Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Mix the ground almonds with the powdered sugar and rose water into a workable paste.
Roll the dough out thin, spread the almond filling over it, roll it up finger-thick, and cut into even pieces.
Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 20 minutes, until lightly golden.
Don't try to shape the dough without letting it rest first — dough that hasn't rested enough tears while rolling. Allergens: contains gluten (whole wheat flour), dairy (butter), tree nuts (almonds).
If rose water is unavailable, you can substitute orange blossom water; the flavour profile stays similarly light and floral.
Admin DadaGastro · verified in test kitchenFırında 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.
