Directions
Mana’eesh (J)gibneh – Cheese Pastries, This is one of my favorite foods Mostly because I love the dough Traditionally it’s made with Akkawi cheese but you can mix with Mozzerlla or sub If you like a lil something extra try jazzing them up with za’taar spice or some veggies These freeze well pre baked I have brushed them around the edges with olive oil or butter for a golden glow but not always Play around with them to cook them to how you like Some like a softer dough and less time in the oven and some like a crunchy dough This dough can do either , These were terrific! The dough came out smooth and easy to work with Mine rose quite a bit while baking and came out soft and tender, just as I wanted them I topped with mozzarella cheese I served these with recipe #387638 Koftit Roz (Rice Meatballs) ; the next day I split open one of the pastries, stuffed a couple of sliced meatballs in, and enjoyed a delicious lunch Great recipe – thanks for posting it!
