Lebanese Milk Kaak/ Kaak Bhaleeb is a favored sweet ring bread that is plushy and pillowy, where every bite collapses softly in your mouth; they have a golden hue, and an agreeable mahlab flavor — might be the rolls of your dreams.
The Lebanese Milk Bread is satisfying and special enough to be eaten on its own as a dessert but tasteful enough to work for breakfast, dunking it into coffee or warm milk!
I would prefer you use a scale in measuring the flour and sugar ingredients, it is far more accurate than measuring cups, which means you can be confident that you’ve followed the recipe exactly right.
