Eastanbul Baked & Shedded Kataifi for Milk PuddingKadayif alongside Baklava constitutes the two most favorited desserts of Ottoman Cuisine. Early versions of this legendary dish could be traced back even to the Thousand and One Nights Epic. Yet Kadayif is a traditional Seljuk and Ottoman dessert.

Although regarded overwhelmingly within Turkish culinary art one could deem it as one of the shared gastronomical legacies of countries in the Middle East and Balkans formerly lands of Ottomans. Therefore versions such as Greek Kataifi or Albanian Kadaif point to more or less the same connotation.

Historical records also confirm that this imperial dessert is among the dishes mentioned in Sultans Royal Cuisine. Kadayif is essentially a kind of very finely shredded phyllo dough. This particular baked and finely crushed form is intended chiefly for Muhallebili Kadayif Dessert (Kadaif with Milk Pudding) which is very popular in Turkey.

That being said fruit or cocoa-flavored puddings also go well with this dessert. On the other hand our finely crushed baked Kadaif is suitable for non-dessert use of Kadayif in various recipes. Ingredients: Wheat flour Water Salt. Contains Wheat GLUTEN.
