Candy حلوى Dried Kunafa is made from finely shredded phyllo dough that is specially prepared and dried to retain its quality and long shelf life. It is commonly used in Middle Eastern, Turkish, and Greek cuisine to create crispy and golden pastries that pair well with syrup, nuts, and creamy fillings.

How to Use Dried Kunafa

  1. Rehydrating:

    • Break apart the dried kunafa strands gently with your hands.
    • Drizzle melted butter or ghee over the strands and mix well to coat evenly.
    • Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb the moisture before using.
  2. For Desserts:

    • Layer the kunafa in a greased baking dish with fillings such as sweet cheese, clotted cream (ashta), or nuts.
    • Bake at 180°C (fan 160°C) until golden brown.
    • Drizzle warm sugar syrup (attar) over the hot kunafa and let it soak before serving.
  3. For Savoury Dishes:

    • Use as a crispy topping for baked dishes or wrap around prawns, chicken, or halloumi before frying or baking.
