Method

1. Mix all the dough ingredients well and set aside until preparing the filling.
2. Mix the filling ingredients well until you have a single soft mass.
3. Roll out half the dough in a baking tray without greasing it. Make sure to spread a thin layer, knowing that it will puff up slightly during baking.
4. For the second layer, spread the date filling; you can use a rolling pin to thin it, then place it over the first layer. Then place the second half of the dough over the dates, again ensuring it is a thin, even layer; you can moisten your hands with a little water to help spread it.
5. Place the rolled date maamoul tray in a preheated oven at 180°C on the middle rack.
6. When the maamoul tray starts to take some color, turn on the top heat of the oven so it finishes baking.
7. . Let it cool completely before turning it out onto a serving plate and cutting it as desired....
