Directions
- In a bowl, combine the semolina with the flour, salt, and sugar.
- Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture and pour in the melted butter and the orange flower water. Mix with your hands and add water until you get a soft dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a little semolina, or if it is too brittle, add a little bit of water. Shape it into a ball and set aside.
- In another bowl, mix the date paste, orange zest, and ground cinnamon. Knead well. Take a piece and form it into a long sausage-like roll. Repeat with the remaining mixture until it is all used. If the date mixture is too sticky, oil your hands with a neutral cooking oil.
