Assemble the Qaghaq tal-Ghasel

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Cut the dough into circles or squares, about 4 inches in size.

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each dough piece.

Fold the dough over to form a crescent shape or a simple pinwheel, pinching the edges to seal.

Bake

Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Mix the egg yolk with water and brush over the top of each pastry.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Finish

Allow the pastries to cool slightly.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
