Shubbak el-habayeb [Iraq] from The Book of Buns: Over 50 Brilliant Bakes from Around the World (page 130) by Jane Mason

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute a mixture of ground cinnamon, ground cloves and ground bay leaves for mahlab.

    Lovely flavour but they took much more time and work than expected. Dough was very stiff (in some reviews I came across, some bakers added 50% more liquid!) and initial proving time was over 3 hours. They had huge oven spring and didn't look much like the book photo which shows rather flat buns.
