Steps

1

To make the dough, mix all the dough ingredients together. Brush with oil, cover, and let rest for 30 minutes.
2

After soaking the Akawi cheese, mix all the filling ingredients well with the parsley.
3

Dust your work surface with cornstarch. Roll out the dough thinly and cut into circles. Fill each circle with cheese filling, seal the edges well, and place on a baking sheet dusted with cornstarch. Freeze until firm, then transfer to freezer bags for storage, or fry in hot, deep oil until golden.

This is a delicious appetizer, especially during Ramadan. You can change the filling as you like—try ground beef and onions, musakhan filling, or chicken with mushrooms and corn. Enjoy!
