A very tasty dessert! A few additions: 1. Hot dessert should be poured with cold syrup. Therefore, I recommend preparing the syrup first and letting it cool. You can also add lemon juice and/or rose water to the syrup. 2. I added about a tablespoon of powdered sugar to the filling, and it was already very sweet. But candied fruits are also sweet and the baked goods will be filled with syrup... 3. Having laid out the bottom layer of dough, I leveled it and pressed it. The top one too. 4. I laid out the filling before reaching approx. 1 cm to the edge of the cake so that it does not leak out. 5. I turned it over using a plate, because... knafeh is quite tender and fragile.6.The finished dessert can be sprinkled with chopped nuts, pistachios, for example, or any others to taste.7.Serve both hot and cold.

You have prepared a wonderful dessert. But I just don’t know where to get the dough. Although here Western Armenians widely use it. They make great honey cakes. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks to Olyusha’s recipe and your photo step, which clearly shows how easy it is to prepare the dessert. And what a rich view!

I was also interested in the recipe, we definitely can’t find such a dough here (only rice vermicelli is sold - the thickness of the fibers resembles something similar, I have already adapted to cooking with it), but for development it is very useful to learn about such a miracle, I love oriental desserts , but for now I’ll just be happy for you, girls!
