How to make Ka'ak al-Abbas — a tasty, reliable home recipe

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (unroasted)

1 teaspoon ka'ak spice mix (a special spice blend used for ka'ak)

1 teaspoon nigella (black) seeds — optional. 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (or less, to taste)

1/4 teaspoon instant yeast

1/4 teaspoon mahleb (mahleb is a spice)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons sunflower oil

1/2 cup liquid milk

Combine all dry ingredients. Add the melted butter and oil, then rub or pulse the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add 1/2 cup milk and knead into a dough.
Let the Ka'ak al-Abbas dough rest for about 4 hours.
After resting, divide the dough into round discs and shape them using ka'ak molds. You can leave them plain or fill them with date paste.
Place the pieces on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (about 350°F).
When the bottoms are browned and the edges turn golden, brown the tops.
Let Ka'ak al-Abbas cool to room temperature before serving.

Note: This quantity is enough to make about 12 discs
