Postopek

Korak za korakom

1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Približno 5 min
2
Prepare the syrup by combining the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Približno 5 min
3
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the syrup for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and rose water, if using. Set aside to cool.
Približno 7 min
Kuharjeva opomba: The syrup should be cool when it's poured over the hot kunefe.
4
In a large bowl, separate the shredded phyllo dough strands and gently pull them apart to loosen them.
Približno 3 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Ensure the phyllo is completely thawed to prevent breakage.
5
Pour the melted butter over the phyllo dough and toss gently with your hands until all the strands are evenly coated.
Približno 3 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Make sure every strand is coated for a crispy kunefe.
6
Press half of the buttered phyllo dough evenly into the bottom of a 20-23 cm (8-9 inch) round baking dish or oven-safe pan, forming a compact layer.
Približno 2 min
7
Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the phyllo layer.
Približno 1 min
8
Cover the cheese with the remaining half of the buttered phyllo dough, pressing down gently to create an even top layer.
Približno 2 min
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Približno 30 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
10
Remove the kunefe from the oven and immediately pour the cooled syrup evenly over the hot dessert.
Približno 1 min
Kuharjeva opomba: The hot kunefe will absorb the cool syrup better.
11
Let the kunefe rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the syrup to fully soak in.
Približno 10 min
12
Garnish with crushed pistachios, if desired, and serve warm.
Približno 1 min
