Method

1. Soak the bulgur with a little water, then add it to the flour and rub them together.
2. Add the salt, cake spice mix (dakat al-ka'ak), sesame and oil, and mix.
3. Add water gradually until you get a cohesive dough — they will need about a small cup of water because the bulgur is moist and the oil is sufficient; if you need a little more water, add it slowly according to the dough's needs.
4. Start working with the bulgur patties dough immediately — it does not need resting time.
5. Shape the dough into balls and press the balls into a cookie or cake stamp, or you can flatten them by hand.
6. Arrange the bulgur patties on a baking tray and bake until cooked.
7. Serve the bulgur patties with labneh and cheese.
