Outline of kadayif

The term kadayif (Turkish: kadayıf) is used to describe a variety of desserts and dough in the Turkish cuisine, including the actual confections and unfinished intermediate products like dough.[1] An Arabic dessert made of similar dough is the knafeh.[2] While the word kadayif comes from Arabic qatayef linguistically, there is little overlap between the actual Arabic qatayef and Turkish kadayif desserts.[2] Kadayif as a generic name for a group of pastry desserts can be found in the cookbook Melceü't-Tabbâhîn (1844).[3]

  • Unfinished products include:
    • Kadayif flour, a special flour made from the bisquit class wheat;[4]
