Manufacturing
The dough consists of desalinated Akkawi or elastic cheese ( mujaddal ) braided into plaits as the main ingredient, alternatively mozzarella is also used. When preparing it at home, the cheese is melted, stirred vigorously with sugar or syrup, semolina, lemon juice and possibly rose water or orange blossom water until the mixture loosens easily from the wall of the container. The mass is rolled out 3-4 millimeters thin on a surface wetted with syrup and allowed to cool. Then 3.75 by 5 centimeters rectangles are cut out, rolled up, smeared with kashta (a kind of thick cream) and sprinkled with chopped pistachio nuts. Alternatively, the rolled out mass can be smeared with the cream and then rolled up and divided up so that the cream serves as a filling.
