Date Malawach With Roasted Grapes And Labneh Recipes

DATE MALAWACH WITH ROASTED GRAPES AND LABNEH

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: flours, sugar , salt and baking powder.
• Then add the warm water slowly while mixing until it comes together. Knead for 5-7 minutes until you have a soft, smoothe ball.
• Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
• Divide your dough into four equal sizes pieces. Keep three covered while you work with the fourth.
• Line a baking sheet with parchemnt or wax paper and set aside.
• Take 1 tablespoon of butter and spread it out over a clean surface. You'll need at least a 12" x 14" space to work with. Put the dough on the surface and roll out using a rolling pin and your hands into a 12" x 14" rectangle. Don't worry if there are tears, you won't see them in the end. You want the dough very thin and see-throuh.
• Sprinkle the dates and about 1/4 of the cinnamon evenly onto the surface. Starting with the wide end, roll the dough up into a rope and then swirl into a pinwheel spiral. Repeat with the other dough pieces, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until chilled through.
• When you are about ready to fry the malawach, you can make the grapes.
• Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees F. Toss the grapes with olive oil and salt and spread out on a parchment limed baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until grapes are softed and slightly browned.
• While the grapes are roasting, it's fry time! Remove one piece of dough at a time and place between two pieces of wax paper. Flatten into a 6-inch circle using a rolling pin. Frying in a little more butter over medium heat in a cast-iron or nonstick pan 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
• Serve hot with roasted grapes, labneh, mint, honey and sesame seeds.
