I've tried cake flour--I'm not sure if that's the same thing. Using the 
quantities for crumbly crackers given in Nasrallah's translation, you 
get something closer to a batter than a dough, hence not kneadable, 
which is inconsistent with the recipe's instructions.

Did any of your recipes have sufficient information so that you could do 
that kind of test?
