Kadaif

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   We prepare the products. Thaw the phyllo dough. My lemon.

2. STEP 2

   

   Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Let it cool a little.

3. STEP 3

   

   Take the already thawed phyllo dough and remove the plastic from it. We do not unroll (!!!) the roll, which consists of the thinnest, almost like tissue paper, layers of dough. And right on the roll, crosswise, we cut the phyllo into as narrow strips as possible, similar to threads. Here you will need to choose a comfortable sharp knife and make some effort, because the dough, rolled into a tight roll, can hardly be called pliable. But it's worth it. We get long, thin noodles.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour melted butter over the resulting noodles and mix so that all the dough is saturated with it.

5. STEP 5

   

   Grease the mold with oil. Place half of the dough into it, level it, and place the mozzarella cut into large pieces on top.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cover the cheese with the remaining dough and press down lightly. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 40-45 minutes until a beautiful, rosy color.

7. STEP 7

   

   While the kadaif is baking, prepare the syrup. Bring sugar, water and lemon juice to a boil.

8. STEP 8

   

   Boil for 2-5 minutes. Then cool the syrup completely.

9. STEP 9

   

   We take the finished Kadaif out of the oven and pour cold syrup over it while still hot. Leave to soak for 20 minutes. All the syrup was absorbed by me. Remove the Kadaif from the mold onto a plate and cut into pieces. Prepare coffee or tea and enjoy!
