The Great Holiday Bake Thread

[Hugsplox]

The recipe is Tunisian by way of a small bakery's cookbook. I can PM you the recipe if you'd like. It's very simple and quick to make, so just grab some quality ingredients and you should be good! Not quite the same as the Afghan dessert you mentioned, but it is refreshingly different (and a good pairing with coffee and mint tea).

On the topic of Middle Eastern/South Asian desserts: I will say that my true specialty is baklava. I've played with a couple of different styles over the years (ie. Greek, Turkish, Persian) and have always been pleased with the results. It's something I only make for a crowd, though.

I would love the recipe if you don't mind! Baklava is something we, without fail, order from our favorite Greek restaurant every time we order take out from there, which has been a ton this year. Well it's Greek/Indian, so we get butter chicken and baklava for desert lol. I've tried to make it myself but I think it might be a bit beyond my skill level. I'm still working on it though and this year has given me plenty of time to practice so I hope to master it soon.

I absolutely love Middle Eastern and South Asian food, you just can't beat the flavors, or the hospitality of the people there.
