Description
Date breads and pastries like these rolls are popular throughout the Middle East and are a perfect treat for the month of Ramadan. The dough and filling for them vary from region to region, as do the shape of the rolls. My version, known as naan-e khormayi (bread with dates) in Persian, uses a fluffy yeast dough filled with a mixture of dates, walnuts, coconut and cinnamon. The dates make the rolls just sweet enough – and delicious with a cup of coffee or tea. The dough uses yogurt, which helps keep it soft and easy to work with, and it's perfect for twisting into the attractive spiral shape used in this recipe.
