Add softened ghee and rub into the dry ingredients with your fingers until the mixture resembles wet sand. Dissolve yeast in warm milk and mix into the dough. Knead gently until smooth. Cover and let the dough rest for 1\u20132 hours at room temperature.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, prepare the date filling by mixing the date paste with ghee, cinnamon, and orange blossom water (if using). Roll into small balls (about 10 g each) for easy stuffing.<\/p>\n<p>After the dough has rested, divide it into 30 g pieces. Flatten each piece in your hand, place a date ball in the center, and seal. Shape it into a ball and press into a Ma\u2019amoul mold. Tap the mold gently to release the patterned cookie.<\/p>\n<p>Place shaped cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 180\u00b0C (355\u00b0F). Bake for 18\u201322 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly golden. The tops should remain pale. Cool completely before serving. Do not dust with powdered sugar if using date filling.<\/p>\n<h4>Recommendations for Ma\u2019amoul formulation:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Do not over-knead the dough\u2014this ensures a tender, crumbly texture.<\/li>\n<li>Resting the dough is crucial to hydrate semolina and develop structure.<\/li>\n<li>Use fine semolina for a more delicate crumb.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your hands slightly moist when shaping to avoid cracks in the dough.<\/li>\n<li>If date paste is too firm, microwave slightly or knead with ghee to soften.<\/li>\n<li>Use a proper Ma\u2019amoul mold for traditional shape and finish.<\/li>\n<li>Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Levant Ma\u2019amoul recipe Ma\u2019amoul are traditional Middle Eastern desert &#8211; shortbread cookies filled with sweetened dates, pistachios, or walnuts.
