Knead until the dough is light, soft, and pliable. Take a small portion of dough and shape it into a ball. Flatten it in your palms to form a disc. Place a piece of loukoumi and a piece of walnut in the center, then fold carefully, shaping into an oblong form. Place each piece seam side down. Once all are shaped, arrange them in two lightly oiled baking pans or on pans lined with parchment paper. Bake in a well-preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) with fan for about 30 minutes, until lightly golden. They will not brown much because they contain no egg yolk. Remove from the oven and, while still warm (but not hot), dust generously with confectioners’ sugar. TAGS TRADITIONAL DESSERTS WALNUTS LOW BUDGET DAIRY FREE LENTED FOOD VEGAN CHRISTMAS GREEK
