1. 1Step 1: In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: flours, sugar, salt and baking powder.
2. 2Step 2: Add the warm water slowly while mixing until it comes together. Knead for 5-7 minutes until you have a soft, smooth ball.
3. 3Step 3: Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
4. 4Step 4: Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Keep three covered while you work with the fourth.
5. 5Step 5: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and set aside.
6. 6Step 6: Take 1 tablespoon of butter and spread it out over a clean surface. You'll need at least a 12" x 14" space to work with. Put the dough on the surface and roll out using a rolling pin and your hands into a 12" x 14" rectangle. Don't worry if there are tears, you won't see them in the end. You want the dough very thin and see-through.
7. 7Step 7: Sprinkle the dates and about 1/4 of the cinnamon evenly onto the surface. Starting with the wide end, roll the dough up into a rope and then swirl into a pinwheel spiral. Repeat with the other dough pieces, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until chilled through.
8. 8Step 8: When you are about ready to fry the malawach, you can make the grapes.
9. 9Step 9: Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees F. Toss the grapes with olive oil and salt and spread out on a parchment lined baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until grapes are softened and slightly browned.
10. 10Step 10: While the grapes are roasting, it's fry time! Remove one piece of dough at a time and place between two pieces of wax paper. Flatten into a 6-inch circle using a rolling pin. Fry in a little more butter over medium heat in a cast-iron or nonstick pan 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
11. 11Step 11: Serve hot with roasted grapes, labneh, mint, honey and sesame seeds.
