Kataifi Dough – Delicate Shredded Pastry for Traditional Desserts

Kataifi is a finely shredded filo dough known for its light, crispy texture and unique appearance. Traditionally used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern desserts, kataifi offers a versatile base for both classic and creative recipes.

What is Kataifi?

Kataifi dough consists of long, hair-like strands made from a thin batter, similar to phyllo but shaped into fine threads. When baked with butter and sweetened with syrup, it creates a golden, crunchy exterior with a soft, flavorful interior—ideal for sweets like Kataifi rolls, baklava nests, or stuffed with walnuts, pistachios, or cream.

Why Choose Kataifi Dough?

  • Authentic Flavor: Preserves the essence of traditional Greek and Turkish pastries.

  • Versatile Use: Perfect for sweet dishes like syrup-soaked desserts or modern fusion creations.

  • Crispy Texture: Provides a delicate crunch after baking that elevates any dessert.

  • Easy to Work With: Once thawed, it can be shaped, filled, or layered with ease.

Now available in 400g packs, kataifi dough is a must-have for any home baker looking to explore the richness of Mediterranean dessert culture.
