Mix the dry ingredients. Add the margarine, oil, water, and rose water and use your hands to make a dough (you can use a mixer or a food processor as well). Add water as needed.

If you use fresh dates and they are on the dry side, soak them with some hot water for 30 minutes, then drain them. Cut into small pieces and add the oil (no oil is needed if you use the paste). Mix the dates with concord wine and cinnamon. If the dates are still tough, microwave until soft.

Divide the dough into 8 balls, roll each ball to a ½ cm thick rectangle. Spread the dates mixture over the dough and fold to make a roll. Place on a baking sheet and slice, about 2 cm thick.

Bake at 350° F for 35 minutes until top is golden. Let cool, then separate the slices and spread powdered sugar for decoration.
