Knafeh, Kunafeh, كنافه خشنه بالجبنه

[MsP3ac3]

الطريقه ممتازه وسهله

ولكن بـ اعتقادي انك كثرت الجبن الموزريلا مما ادى عدم تماسك الشعيريه جيداً

[cookingtheeasyway]

@MsP3ac3 , this particular knafeh came out really good and delicious....the more cheese, the better :)

thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

thank u very much 

[kjnq]

mimi is your #1 fan how i can make the top orange color ? do i need to add any food color? again and again thank u very much for all ur videos and i love ur new web page THANK U

[cookingtheeasyway]

@kjnq , Thank you so much for your comment.

you can add orange food coloring to the butter and then your knafeh will become orange in color, but i prefer to broil the top so it becomes toasted and brownish in color.

[kjnq]

@cookingtheeasyway thank u very much

[cookingtheeasyway]

@3odna , now you have the recipe, you can make it at home anytime you feel like it :)

[shangaize]

hi what is akkawi chez in english plez?

cane show how to do it whith smed too plez

[cookingtheeasyway]

@shangaize, You cannot find Akkawi cheese at the middle eastern stores in Australia? if not, you can always use Ricotta cheese mixed with Mozzarella cheese to use instead of Akkawi cheese. Akkawi cheese is white arabic cheese that is soaked in water to get rid of the salty taste in it. so basically you can use any white cheese that has very low or no salt. you can use the same method for Knafeh dough by mixing the Smeed with butter and spread it in the pan then fill it with cheese and bake it.

[kjnq]

[Motez19]

same7ni bas 2aboya be3mil knafa nabolsia betkoon loonha bortokali. bas taba3an 2aboya 7areef fiha sarlo sneen. Fa so2ali howa.. lesh ta3tak mesh loonha bortokali??

[cookingtheeasyway]

@Motez19 , the reason my knafeh is not Orange in color is simple...i never use orange food coloring in it, i like it naturally colored when its baked, to me, the orange color looks so artificial :)

[Motez19]

Oh ya allah, this knafeh looks SO delicious!!!

[cookingtheeasyway]

@Motez19 , it was great!! but now that you saw the recipe i hope you can replicate it at home and enjoy it too :)

[Motez19]

@Motez19 if only i had akkawi cheese :P

[cookingtheeasyway]

@Motez19 , you can make it with Ricotta cheese and Mozzarella cheese :) or you can even fill it with a mix of crushed walnuts, sugar, cinnamon and very little nutmeg, bake it then add the sugar syrup to it. serve hot .

[Motez19]

@cookingtheeasyway alright, will make it until i can get it in Syria! :P

Thanks alot!

[saleh822]

حلوه مره الله يعطيك العافيه بس الجبن الي انتا استخدمته اظن مايصلح لانه للبيتزا بس

[cookingtheeasyway]

@saleh822 , بأمكانك استعمال جبنة البيتزا لكن لازم تضيف لها جبنه عكاوي محليه من الملح أو استعمال جبنة الريكوتا.

[DannyAlkhateeb]

Wow man thanx alot for the video .. i just love Knafeh

[2462064]

لصاحب المقطع لإنو الشغل مرتب

[succariabanat]

I would like to kunafah, but I live in Spain and we do not have that dough. I hope to try it sometime, sounds delicious.

Thanks for sharing the recipe.

[flufffy100]

I want to know how the dough is done... is there any recipe for it... but i want the fine dough not that hairy stuff lool...

[7azengirl]

اشي مرتب مشكور و جزاك الله كل خير

اديش انت رايئ و الله

[cookingtheeasyway]

شكرا على التعليق الحلو الرايئ :)

[dokkameyya]

wasn't he supposed to turn it upside down , as the knafeh base was thicker at the base?

[cookingtheeasyway]

dokkameyya, not this type of kunafeh is turned upside down. this one was baked in the oven and it was cooked from the bottom and then broiled from the top, so it is cooked from both sides and served right out of the pan. thanks for coming by.

[shinshine08]

How do you make the syrup?

[beshwet]

woww betjanneen tal3a 2akle !! ..

[cookingtheeasyway]

Thanks!

[argentinany]

I liked it, but i wish the guy wore gloves.

[cookingtheeasyway]

I assure you that "the guy" washed his hands before he started making the Kunafeh.

:)

[morockin1]

[SimpleMohammed]

Hi Summer, this is a different Knafeh than the one we see at restaurants!!! why is it not reddish????

[cookingtheeasyway]

i did not add any food coloring to it, that is why it is not orange in color like the commercial one...this is real home made knafeh and it tastes like it. :)

[aaaleb75]

back home in Lebanon we do not add color to it..the palestinian makes what they call Nabulsi Kunafah and it is normally reddish..

[cookingtheeasyway]

In most countries this dessert is prepared, orange coloring is added, even in Lebanon. i find it better with its golden colored obtained from baking only...i do not like the orange food coloring.

[aaaleb75]

no not in Lebanon...unless they are making the nabulsi version..they make it the way you did..and like you i dont like the orange food coloring either..thanks for the video, i am planing to give it a try for this coming 3eed inshallah..thanks again

[Cubbiesgal]

Excellent .... Videos.... Mashallah 3alaiki ... I made a couple but not so much I put them private.. Hun ... u dont have to impress but ur hubby ..and really you did an excellent job at what I have seen... Allah yihmeeki ...good luck!! love this song !

[cookingtheeasyway]

Thanks! I am not trying to impress anyone really with these videos..i just like to share my little knowledge with others...maybe it is a good thing to do .

Ramadan Kareem to you and yours.

لو سمحت بدي اسالك في كنافه يعملوها بلون اورنج كيف نعملها وشو الصبغه الي يحطوها على العجينه

منى

[cookingtheeasyway]

Thank you!

I do not add any food coloring to it...it is orange food coloring you can get anywhere...i think if you bake it well it will turn into nice golden color you would not miss out on the coloring at all. good luck!

[DShalash]

yum yum, thanks a lot! I am so homesick now. since i've never done it before, do you think i can get the ingredients from maijer? what do you call the dough? also did you use some sort of coloring? the akkawi cheese I can make it, thank goodness i don't have to worry about it :)

thanks!

[engafaf]

salam,

you said you make your own akkawi cheese, can you tell me how ? where i live they dont sell akkawi . thank you in advance :)

[happycalm13]

بصراحه فى منتهى الجمال

[cookingtheeasyway]

شكرا على التعليق اللطيف.

[engafaf]

yslemo hadyat , ok can you show us how to make akawi cheese where i live there are no arabic stores , i make it with ashta mtboka , it is delicous too, also i tried it with you know when you put vinegar on the milk and u get that cheese. also good try it , wow we can get creative when we are deperate for a taste from back home :)

i have a request can you make bird nests for us.....

[cookingtheeasyway]

engafaf, thanks for your comment. I have never made ashta matbokha, or the cheese from milk and vinegar, but i know of many people that do it in the states. I have no recipe for akkawi cheese, sorry, but i will send you a link from a friend of cheese making. thanks again for coming by.

[cookingtheeasyway]

here is Oush el Bul bul recipe, i hope this is what you mean by the name of the recipe:, again it is in arabic and i hope you can read arabic, if for any reason you cannot, let me know and i will translate it for you:

1/2 pack Knafeh dough-2 1/4 cup sugar-2 cups whole pistachios, shelled-Ghee or butter -1 cup water-1 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice

الطريقه:

[cookingtheeasyway]

- نضع السكر مع الماء وعصير الليمون في قدر عالنار ونتركها لمده 8 الى 10 دقايق لتتكون الشيره.

- نضع الفستق في صينيه ثم نصب عليه قليل من الشيره ونحرك ثم ندخل الفستق للفرن على درجه حراره 190 او 200 لمده 5 دقايق.

[cookingtheeasyway]

- نقطع شعيرات الكنافه ثم نلف مجموعه الشعيرات على اصبعين بشكل دائري حتى تشكل حلقه ثم نضع في وسط كل حلقه حبتين او 3 من الفستق.

[cookingtheeasyway]

- نضع كميه من السمن فوق الكنافه ثم ندخلها الفرن على درجه حراره 200 لمده ربع ساعه الى ان يصبح لونها ذهبي وبعد ان نخرجها من الفرن سنجد ان هناك كميه من السمن الفائض فنتخلص منه.

[lisam25]

Do you think you can make macaroni bachamel? thanks for all the recipes

[royalxsweetie]

Gimme a plate of that :) hehe. Kanafe and baklawa are my fav. mediterranean desserts. Its crazy how much butter goes into these things. I recently made kanafe w/nabulsi cheese.... but I don't like how nabulsi and akkawi are packed into brine... its still a bit salty even after I rinse it a couple of times.

[cookingtheeasyway]

royalxsweetie, you need to soak the nabulsi cheese for couple of days in water and change it frequently, but with akkawi cheese, you need to soak it for an hour or so, also changing water frequently. but it works fine with ricotta and mozzarella cheese too. sahtian!

[Bintkan3an]

Summer, if i want to do the one layer of knafeh dough which comes on top only, how do i cook it? do i only do the layer on the bottom of the pan then cheese on top, and when its done cooking flip it into another pan? ive seen people do that, or do i do cheese on the bottom and dough on top and cooking and serve in the same pan? thanks much

[cookingtheeasyway]

bintkan3an, some people call my recipe on the video, bain narian, because it has bottom and upper layer of Knafeh dough, but the traditional and original recipe calls for ONE layer of the dough, in the bottom of the pan, topped with cheese and cooked on the stove top then inverted to another pan.

[BusyBeingFabulous]

Welcome backkkkkkkk we missed you and missed your videos

Could you please tell me what is the Akkawi cheese?? Is it just the name of the package or what ??

thanks

[bendoura]

It's the name of the cheese, it will say it on the package. The package and cheese will be round and you can find it in the freezers or refrigerators at Middle Eastern stores.

[BusyBeingFabulous]

Thank you so much for your reply

[cookingtheeasyway]

Thanks for the welcome! busy time for me now.

akkawi cheese is a type of white cheese that is prepared with salt and made into molds. i think the origin of it is from Akka the Palestinian city by the coast.

[Esunshine71]
