What is Walnut Bread Kadayif?
Walnut Bread Kadayif is a Turkish dessert made by soaking a specially prepared, dried bread base in syrup and adding walnuts. It is strongly associated with Afyonkarahisar, though recipes vary from household to household and bakery to bakery.
The porous bread turns soft as it absorbs the syrup, while walnuts add a pleasantly crunchy contrast. It is usually cut into portions and served with kaymak, a thick clotted cream, and is also enjoyed with tea at celebrations and family gatherings. The syrup and bread make it a carbohydrate-rich sweet, with walnuts contributing some fat and texture. For a lighter serving, choose a smaller piece and enjoy it with unsweetened tea.
