Authentic Hatay Künefe Recipe | Traditional Turkish Dessert from Antakya ✨ In this video, we take you to the streets of Antakya, the heart of Hatay, to witness the making of one of Turkey’s most iconic desserts: Künefe. Crispy golden shredded pastry (kadayıf), layered with stretchy unsalted cheese, and soaked in fragrant syrup—this dessert is a true masterpiece of Ottoman heritage. 🥘 Ingredients (Home Version – 6 to 8 servings): 500 g (1 lb) shredded kadayıf (kataifi pastry), 200 g (7 oz) unsalted butter, melted, 300–350 g (11–12 oz) künefe cheese (or fresh mozzarella as a substitute), optional: ground pistachios for garnish. For the syrup: 400 ml (1 ¾ cups) water, 600 g (3 cups) sugar, a few drops of lemon juice. 🍳 Step-by-Step Preparation: 1. Prepare the syrup: In a saucepan, combine water and sugar. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 20 minutes until slightly thickened. Add lemon juice, remove from heat, and let cool. 2. Prepare the kadayıf: Shred the kadayıf into fine pieces. Mix thoroughly with melted unsalted butter until every strand is coated. 3. Assemble the künefe: Grease a round pan with butter. Spread half of the kadayıf as the bottom layer and press firmly. Add the cheese evenly on top. Cover with the remaining kadayıf and press again. 4. Cook the künefe: Place the pan on low heat and cook slowly until the bottom turns golden brown. Flip using another pan or tray, and cook the other side until equally golden. 5. Add syrup & serve: Pour warm syrup over hot künefe. Garnish with ground pistachios if desired. Serve immediately while the cheese is still stretchy. 🌿 Chef’s Tips: Always use unsalted butter and unsalted cheese. Do not bake in the oven—künefe must be cooked on the stovetop for the perfect soft yet stretchy texture. Best enjoyed fresh and hot, right after syrup is added. 📖 About Künefe: Künefe is a centuries-old dessert, born from the fusion of Turkish and Arab cuisines during the Ottoman era. In Antakya, it has become a symbol of daily life and hospitality. Its unique flavor comes from the perfect harmony of crispy pastry, buttery richness, soft cheese, and aromatic syrup. 👉 My channel features nearly 400 traditional and modern recipes!
