Makroudh (Template:Lang-ar) is a North African sweet pastry filled with dates and nuts or almond paste, that has a diamond shape–the name derives from this characteristic shape.

The dough is made with a combination of semolina and flour, which gives the pastry a very specific texture and flavor.[1] Makroudh can be fried in oil or oven-baked.[2]

In Algeria there are many varieties of the makroudh, some of which are pastries that do not share much in common with the traditional Makroudh except the shape.[3][4] In Algeria, they may be filled with almond paste.[5]

Makroudh with dates and honey is popular in Morocco on Ramadan. In this version, the semolina dough is lined with date paste, rolled into a log and then sliced, fried and dipped in honey.[6]

Among Algerian Jews, makroudh is traditionally prepared for Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year.[7]

Makroudh is prepared by filling a dough made with semolina, usually using the Deglet Nour date variety. The dough is then rolled and cut into diamond-shaped pieces. The pastry is then either fried or oven-baked. The final step involves soaking the makroudh in a sweet syrup.[8]
