To make Mahmool
Using a medium size mold, specially made for making mahmool (available in Lebanese stores) or manually making the shape of a patty, mold should be sprinkled with flour. Flour a kitchen counter top and spread dough until 1 inch thick.
Then with a 3-inch diameter cup, cut out round molds from the dough and place in floured mold, add filling and cover with another 3 inch diameter mold sealing the edges and placing in a greased baking pan.
Bake 30 to 45 minutes.
