طريقة التحضير

خطوة بخطوة

1. 1

   Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and add the granulated sugar.

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Using a non-stick saucepan can prevent the milk from scorching on the bottom.

2. 2

   Heat the milk mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously with a whisk, until the sugar completely dissolves and the milk is warm to the touch but not boiling.

   حوالي 5 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: The ideal temperature for the milk is around 100-110°F (38-43°C), warm enough to comfortably dip your finger in.

3. 3

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the rose water until well combined.

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Rose water adds a distinctive floral aroma; adjust the amount to your preference, starting with less if you're new to the flavor.

4. 4

   Select a large, shallow serving dish or tray, approximately 9x13 inches (23x33 cm), ensuring it's deep enough to hold the layers and milk.

   ملاحظة الطاهي: A glass baking dish works well as it allows you to see the layers from the side.

5. 5

   Dip one güllaç sheet into the warm milk mixture, ensuring it is fully submerged and softened but not overly soggy.

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Work quickly with each sheet as they absorb liquid rapidly and can become fragile if left too long.

6. 6

   Carefully transfer the softened güllaç sheet to the bottom of the prepared serving dish, gently pressing it down to create an even layer.

   ملاحظة الطاهي: If your sheets are larger than your dish, you can gently fold or tear them to fit, ensuring the bottom is fully covered.

7. 7

   Repeat the dipping and layering process with half of the remaining güllaç sheets (typically 5 more sheets), ensuring each sheet is saturated with milk before placing it in the dish.

   حوالي 5 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Overlap the sheets slightly if necessary to cover the entire surface of the dish.

8. 8

   Evenly sprinkle the crushed walnuts over the layered güllaç sheets, distributing them from edge to edge.

   ملاحظة الطاهي: For a finer texture, pulse the walnuts in a food processor until coarsely ground, or chop them by hand.

9. 9

   Continue layering the remaining güllaç sheets (the final 6 sheets), dipping each one in the milk mixture before carefully placing it over the walnuts.

   حوالي 5 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Be gentle when placing the top layers to avoid disturbing the walnut layer beneath.

10. 10

    Once all sheets are layered, pour any remaining milk mixture evenly over the top of the dessert, ensuring all parts are moistened.

    ملاحظة الطاهي: Tilt the dish gently to help the milk distribute evenly, especially into any dry spots.

11. 11

    Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the dessert is thoroughly chilled and set.

    ملاحظة الطاهي: Chilling is crucial for the güllaç to firm up, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully and making it easier to slice.

12. 12

    Before serving, remove the plastic wrap and garnish the güllaç generously with chopped pistachios and fresh pomegranate seeds.

    ملاحظة الطاهي: For an elegant presentation, cut the chilled güllaç into diamond or square shapes using a sharp, wet knife.
