About the dish

Kaak warka are traditional Tunisian pastries shaped into rings, making them visually similar to donuts. They're filled with marzipan that's flavored with rosewater. This sweet pastry is made with a combination of flour, butter, water, almonds, sugar, and rosewater. The dough is baked in the oven at low heat so that kaak warka doesn't change its color. Once baked, the sweet pastry is cooled, and it's recommended to serve it with a cup of coffee on the side. Kaak warka is usually prepared for all types of important celebrations.
