Syrup-soaked kadayıf dolması is a Turkish dessert made by rolling shredded kadayıf pastry around walnuts, coating the rolls in egg, frying them, and soaking them in syrup. It is crisp outside and syrupy inside when freshly made.
Syrup-soaked kadayıf dolması is especially associated with Erzurum in eastern Turkey. It is a regional specialty known for its walnut-filled kadayıf rolls, which are fried before being dipped in syrup.
Syrup-soaked kadayıf dolması is made by wrapping shredded pastry around a walnut filling, dipping each roll in beaten egg, frying until golden, and soaking it in syrup. A tight roll helps keep the filling inside during frying.
No, syrup-soaked kadayıf dolması is not the same as künefe. The dolması is rolled around a walnut filling and fried, while künefe is typically made as a flat layer of kadayıf with cheese in the middle and cooked until crisp.
For syrup-soaked kadayıf dolması, the usual method is to put the hot fried rolls into cooled syrup. This lets the pastry absorb syrup while helping it retain more of its freshly fried texture.
Syrup-soaked kadayıf dolması can open up if the pastry is dry, the rolls are loose, or the ends are not secured. Wrap each piece firmly and coat it thoroughly in beaten egg before frying.
Yes, syrup-soaked kadayıf dolması can be baked, though frying is the traditional preparation. Baking may use less oil, but the rolls usually have a different texture and lack some of the characteristic crispness.
Walnuts are the traditional filling for syrup-soaked kadayıf dolması. Some recipes use pistachios or hazelnuts instead, but the change gives the dessert a different flavor and texture.
Syrup-soaked kadayıf dolması is usually served as a dessert on its own, sometimes topped with chopped pistachios. Turkish tea is a common accompaniment and balances the sweetness without adding more sugar.
Store leftover syrup-soaked kadayıf dolması in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat it within a few days. The pastry softens as it sits; briefly reheating it in the oven can improve the texture before serving.

Syrup-soaked kadayıf dolması is a specialty associated with Erzurum in eastern Turkey. Fine strands of kadayıf are wrapped around walnuts, dipped in egg, fried, then soaked in syrup. The outside turns crisp while the walnut filling stays pleasantly coarse; the syrup adds a rich, pronounced sweetness.
In Turkey it is served as a dessert with tea, often for guests and special occasions. It is substantial rather than light, with much of its energy coming from carbohydrates and fat. For a less-heavy serving, have one piece with unsweetened tea, or share it after a meal instead of adding other sweets.
