Postup

Krok za krokem

1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
2
Prepare the sugar syrup by combining the sugar, water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
Přibližně 10 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Do not stir the syrup vigorously once it starts boiling to prevent crystallization.
3
Remove the syrup from heat and stir in the rose water, if using. Set aside to cool completely.
4
In a large bowl, gently separate the shredded phyllo dough strands. Pour the melted butter over the phyllo and toss with your hands until all the dough is evenly coated.
Přibližně 5 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Ensure the phyllo is completely thawed for easier separation.
5
Grease a 20-23 cm (8-9 inch) round baking pan or a shallow oven-safe dish with a little extra melted butter.
Přibližně 1 min
6
Press half of the buttered phyllo dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan, creating a compact layer.
Přibližně 2 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Use the bottom of a glass or your hands to firmly press the phyllo down.
7
Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the phyllo layer, leaving a small border around the edges.
Přibližně 1 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Using low-moisture mozzarella helps prevent the kunefe from becoming watery.
8
Cover the cheese with the remaining buttered phyllo dough, pressing it down gently to seal the edges.
Přibližně 2 min
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Přibližně 30 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Keep an eye on it to prevent burning; oven temperatures can vary.
10
Once baked, immediately remove the kunefe from the oven and carefully invert it onto a serving plate. The bottom should now be the top.
Přibližně 1 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Use oven mitts and be quick and confident when inverting.
11
Pour the cooled sugar syrup evenly over the hot kunefe. Allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes to absorb the syrup.
Přibližně 10 min
Poznámka kuchaře: The contrast in temperature (hot kunefe, cold syrup) helps with absorption.
12
Garnish with crushed pistachios, if desired, and serve warm.
