    The Best KNEFEH (Kunafa, kanafeh, kenafeh, knafeh, kunafah, kunafeh, konafa, kunafa) : Our Signature Homemade Recipe!

    Homemade Knefeh recipe: our way! Probably the best out there:
    235 g butter
    500 g shredded mozzarella (Processed mozzarella sold in bags)
    400 g shredded akkawi cheese (350-400g)
    70g corn flakes
    1 pack of square bread
    1 cup semolina
    3 1/2 cups Full fat Milk
    4 tbsp sugar
    1 1/2 tsp Mastika (Mistki)
    2 tbsp orange blossom water
    2 tbsp rose water
    Sugar Syrup (to be added on top before eating)
    .
    Knefeh
    Knefeh is a traditional Middle Eastern dessert made with thin noodle-like pastry, or alternatively fine semolina dough or even crushed bread crumbs, soaked in sweet, sugar-based syrup. Knefeh is typically layered with cheese or ashta (clotted cream). Some countries also add nuts.
    In Lebanon, Knefeh is a a famous all-day breakfast or dessert, considered to be one of the country’s most famous street foods. Lebanon’s national cheesecake is a craving for all ages. The tradition wants us to eat it in bread, which our neighbors don’t understand and question. The more the cheese melts, the more the Knefeh is sexy.
    So many people, including Turks, think it is Turkish, but it is Arabic, but there are different varieties of Kunefe. The English language borrows the word from Levantine or Egyptian Arabic, and may employ numerous different spellings, such as kanafeh, kenafeh, knafeh, kunafah, kunafeh, konafa, kunafa, and similar variations.
    Knefeh is melting creamy inside, cheesy and soft, covered with a layer of sweet crispy wiry 'threads' or crumbs. The crust can be soft or crunchy, lightly sweet or soaked with an overdose of sugar. Knefeh is a dangerous piece of dessert. Enjoyed as a breakfast or after a meal in Lebanon and Middle East.
    One of the most well-known preparations of kanafeh is knafeh nabulsiyeh, which originated in the Palestinian city of Nablus, and is the most representative and iconic Palestinian dessert. Knafeh nabilsiyeh uses a white-brine cheese called Nabulsi. It is prepared in a large round shallow dish, the pastry is colored with orange food coloring, and sometimes topped with crushed pistachio nuts.
    There are many types of Kanafeh pastry:
    khishnah (خشنة‎, rough): crust made from long thin noodle threads.
    na'ama (ناعمة‎, fine): semolina dough.
    mhayara (محيرة‎, mixed): a mixture of khishnah and na'ama.
    mbrwma (مبرومة‎, twined): It is prepared with noodle.
    Ashta Knefeh is a speciality of north Lebanon, mostly found in Tripoli, Akkar and Zgharta. When asked about Lebanese sweets, my answer is clear: north Lebanon is known for its ashta based sweets, the south is excellent at maamoul madd and cheese Knefeh. Take “Znoud el Sett” for instense or rolled “Halawat el Jeben”... I would drive all the way to Akkar for them!
    Why not try a Knefeh variation. Add chocolate, Nutella, fruits... drizzle some chocolate, mango or strawberry coulis... Knefeh is great as it is but can turn into a culinary innovation: Knefeh crepe, Knefeh croissant, Knefeh burger, Knefeh cake and the list goes on and on; be creative! How do you imagine it?

    Dear Anthony! Thank You very much for the Knafeh recipe. I finally found a Homemade recipe. Once my wife tasted it when we visited Lebanon a years ago, She has been wanting knafeh recipe ever since. Knafeh pasta is rarely available at Hungary. So, I found your recipe at time! Thank You.. Merci .. Köszönöm (in Hungarian: Keuçeuneum (fr)) ! We're waiting for your new videos from Lebanon after that terrible Virus's situation!

    Great job Anthony and Nell. Much love and much respect. 👍 Just reading some of the comments on here, and i have to say, it astounds me how unopen to new ideas people can be. This recipe is Anthony and Nell's version of Knefeh, it's their familiy's interpretation, adapted to their taste. If this was suppossed to be a recipe for "Palestinian Knefeh" or a recipe for "Knefeh you find in Lebanese sweet stores", then that's what the video would have been called. Our communities and our world will never move forward if we don't open ourselves up to new ideas and new possibilities and embrace change rather than fight it.

I met you in Sydney with my parents when you were here in Australia among us a few weeks ago (at Zahli Restaurant you might recall). Our world needs more people like you in it, who spread such positivity and open our eyes to not only our precious origins, but also to the greater possibilities that await us if we have the courage to embrace new ideas. We have to be that example for our children and the new generations we will hand this world over to. You have all our respect and gratitude. Keep well. God bless.
