Method
- 1 Roast the semolina in ghee, then mix it with honey and crushed walnuts to form a paste.
- 2 Knead the flour with ghee, yeast, and water, then let the dough rest for 2 hours.
- 3 Roll the dough into a ball, hollow out the center, fill with the stuffing, and seal it into a flat ring.
- 4 Press the patterned design onto the surface of the cake using tongs or a fork.
- 5 Bake at 170 degrees for 22 minutes; the cake should be only slightly golden brown at the bottom, while the top remains pale.
- 6 Allow it to cool completely before sifting the powdered sugar in a thick layer; sifting while hot will cause the sugar to dissolve into a syrup.
