    Thank you Chef #647749. Yes the recipe is missing Mahlab (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahlab) and definitely should not use white flour. Semolina #1 + #2 or #1 by itself and should be mixed with warm butter (or even better, warm clarified butter) and left at room temperature overnight. The next day orange blossom and rose water is added as needed to shape the dough. I will be posting my recipe here just in time for Easter. I will be nice and give this a "0". :-)
