What are Lebanese cheese rolls made of?

Lebanese cheese rolls, also known as "kaak," are a type of flatbread that is popular in Lebanon and other Middle Eastern countries. The dough is made from a combination of flour, water, yeast, and salt. Once the dough is kneaded and left to rise, it is then rolled out into a thin sheet.

Cheese, usually a mixture of feta and kashkaval, is then spread over the dough. The dough is then rolled up, cut into individual rolls, and baked.

Lebanese cheese rolls are often served as an appetizer or snack and can be found in most Lebanese bakeries.

How do I make my cheese rolls fluffier?

There are a few things you can do to make your Lebanese cheese rolls fluffier:

  1. Use a mixer to mix the dough. This will help to incorporate air into the dough and make it lighter.
  2. Let the dough rise for at least 30 minutes before shaping it into rolls. This will also help to make the rolls lighter and fluffier.
  3. Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will help to prevent the rolls from sticking to the pan and will also make them easier to remove after they are baked.
  4. Bake the rolls at a high temperature, around 200 degrees Celsius. This will help to make them puff up and become nice and fluffy.
