Honeycomb Bread with Cheese Filling (Khaliat Nahl)
|
Bread recipes are always among my readers' favorites, and today I'm sharing a very special bread recipe that's commonly found in Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and other parts of the Arab world. Khaliat Nahl is a special bread stuffed with cheese, split up into pull-apart-able little balls and drizzled with honey for a beautiful union of sweet and savory. Enjoy this one with friends or family any time of day, or as part of your iftar (post-sunset) or suhur (pre-sunrise) if you're observing Ramadan. Keep on cooking, |

Crinkle cake is one of those recipes that looks and tastes as it sounds: crunchy and crinkly! I made a crinkle cake with dates, a dessert known for its crispy and custardy texture and caramel-like sweetness. The cake features layers of crinkled phyllo dough and Medjool dates, topped with a sweet milk-based custard flavored with cardamom. After baking, a sugar syrup is poured over the cake, which can be adjusted to your desired level of sweetness. This cake isn't necessarily an authentic...
