What is Kataifi Dough, Though?

Discover the Crispy Secret Behind Iconic Desserts

Kataifi dough is a delicate, finely shredded pastry that’s essential in many Mediterranean and Middle Eastern desserts and once you try it, you’ll understand why. Made from simple ingredients like flour and water, this golden, hair-like dough becomes irresistibly crispy and light when baked, soaking up sweet syrups and adding texture to both sweet and savory dishes.

Traditionally used in classics like kunefe and kataifi baklava, kataifi is now gaining popularity in modern fusion cooking, perfect for wrapping cheese, nuts, or even seafood.

At LushPantry, we offer premium quality dry, pre-chopped kataifi dough that’s ready to use, no thawing, no prep. Whether you're a home baker or a chef, our kataifi helps you create elegant, restaurant-worthy dishes with ease.
