Postup
Krok za krokom
- 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.
Približne 10 min
Poznámka kuchára: 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.
Približne 5 min
Poznámka kuchára: 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.
Približne 1 min
- 6
Press half of the buttered phyllo dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan, creating a compact layer.
Približne 2 min
Poznámka kuchára: 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.
Približne 1 min
Poznámka kuchára: 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.
Približne 2 min
- 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Približne 30 min
Poznámka kuchára: 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.
Približne 1 min
Poznámka kuchára: 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.
Približne 10 min
Poznámka kuchára: The contrast in temperature (hot kunefe, cold syrup) helps with absorption.

Garnish with crushed pistachios, if desired, and serve warm.
