They are light and easy to make and very flavorful. They are very popular and can be made in advance and frozen before frying up.
well Fatoush is a pretty good start :) Let me know if you try this.

you can actually mix 2 tbs of flour with 2 tbs or so of water and that will make a glue that you can use to bind the cheese rolls.

Hi - have you ever made sumsum or maybe it's simsim bread? My husband loves this bread and we used to get it but the bakery closed. It is a sweet bread with sesame seeds on top with honey or I think simple syrup?
