Knafeh Recipe - Middle Eastern Pastry with Cheese
Recipe Information
Knafeh
Cultural Context
Knafeh is a beloved dessert originating from the Levant region, particularly associated with Syrian and Palestinian cuisine. Traditionally served during celebrations and special occasions, this sweet pastry features layers of shredded dough filled with cheese and soaked in fragrant syrup. Today, variations of knafeh can be found worldwide, with each region adding its unique twist to this classic treat.
Preheat the oven.
In a bowl, combine the Kataifi dough with melted butter and optional food color.
In another bowl, mix the Akawi cheese, mozzarella cheese, Panella cheese, and sugar to create the cheese filling.
Prepare the sugar syrup by boiling water, sugar, rose water, orange blossom water, and lemon juice until it thickens slightly.
In a baking pan, spread some soft butter and layer half of the Kataifi dough mixture.
Add the cheese filling on top of the dough layer.
Cover with the remaining Kataifi dough mixture and drizzle with more melted butter.
Bake in the oven until golden brown.
Once baked, pour the sugar syrup over the hot Knafeh and let it soak.
Garnish with crushed nuts before serving.
