Jachnun

Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar. Make a well in the center.

Gradually add the warm water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a thin rectangle (about 12x8 inches / 30x20 cm).

Prepare the Filling

Brush each rectangle of dough with melted butter or margarine.

In a small bowl, mix the honey, date syrup (or molasses), and vegetable oil.

Spread a thin layer of the honey mixture over each rectangle of dough.

Shape and Cook

Roll each rectangle tightly from one edge to form a log. Pinch the ends to seal.

Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down.

Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for about 1 hour.

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 8-10 hours, or overnight. This low and slow cooking method allows the rolls to develop a rich, caramelized flavor.

Serve

Allow the Jachnun to cool slightly before slicing.
