Me too! Although, when I was in the middle east many years ago, I was taught to make a version of this recipe. The dough was the same, but the filling was a samboosa ground lamb mixture. Still delicious. And, sometimes we used to steam them for a different texture.

[@peterdoe2617]

Never heared of them before. I really need to try this out! What I know about this dough is, that the vinegar in it makes it possible to strech it out very thinly. Which is important, when you wanna make European "Apfelstrudel": apple strudel. Rule: through your dough you should be able to read a newspaper, if you layered that with it. And then the Apfelstrudel is baked as a whole. Greetings from the far north of Germany!
