This Turkish palace dessert is made by soaking a special yeast-raised bread in syrup and spreading kaymak, Turkish clotted cream, on top. It is best served with plenty of kaymak.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the syrup

10 min

Bring the sugar and water to a boil, then add the lemon juice. Boil for a few more minutes and remove from the heat.

2

Bake the ekmek kadayıfı

20 min

Place the bread dessert in a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven until lightly browned on top.

3

Pour the warm syrup over the bread

5 min

Slowly pour the warm syrup over the hot bread dessert, spreading it evenly across the surface.

4

Let it rest

30 min

Let the bread dessert absorb all the syrup and puff up. While it rests, spoon any excess syrup back over the top several times.

5

Serve with kaymak

5 min

Slice the dessert, spread plenty of kaymak on top, sprinkle with crushed pistachios, and serve.

Reminder

Allergens: contains wheat (gluten) and milk (kaymak). Important: After adding the syrup to the bread dessert, spoon it over the top several times. Continue until the dessert has absorbed the syrup and puffed up, or the center may remain dry.

Tarifte yazan sıcaklık bende biraz yüksek geldi, kısarak denedim. Pişirme süresi fırınıma göre 10 dakika uzun sürdü.

Şekersiz versiyonu için tatlandırıcı denedim, tadı çok değişmedi. Kırmızı biber yerine yeşil biber kullandım, daha hafif oldu.
