**Preheat Oven:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 2. **Shape the Dough:** After the dough has rested, divide it into small, equal-sized balls, roughly the size of a walnut. 3. **Flatten the Dough:** Take each ball and flatten it into a small disc using your hands. 4. **Add Filling:** Place a small amount of the date filling (about a teaspoon) in the center of the dough disc. 5. **Seal and Shape:** Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to encase it thoroughly. Roll it gently between your hands to form a smooth ball. You can use special molds or tongs to imprint traditional designs on the dough, giving the Ka'ek its characteristic look. 6. **Repeat:** Continue this process until all the dough and filling are used. #### Baking the Ka'ek: 1. **Arrange on Baking Sheet:** Place the filled dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a bit of space between each.
