Recipe - Kibbi Bis-Sayniyyi (Baked Kibbi)

1 Basic Kibbi Recipe
1 Basic Kibbi Stuffing
One half cup Melted butter

generously butter a 9x12" cake pan. Spread a half inch layer of kibbi on
the bottom of the pan. (It is easier to take several large balls, pat them
flat, place in pan, piecing kibbi to form an even layer on bottom of pan.)
Then go over kibbi with hand and smooth evenly. Spread the stuffing evenly
over the kibbi layer. Then spread the remaining kibbi mixture on top. (The
top layer should be thicker than the bottom.) Use the same method as bottom
layer, dipping hands in cold water so kibbi won't stick to hands. Smooth
well.

Score the top layer 1/2" deep in a diamond shaped design 1" apart. Pour
melted butter across the top. Bake in a 400 oven for 25 minutes, lower heat
to 300 and bake for 2030 minutes more. When serving, cut along diamond
shaped wedges.

Serves 810.
