How to prepare kunafa with cheese

Step 1

Put all the ingredients in a large bowl and knead them until you get a smooth dough. Spread the dough in a heavy-bottomed baking tray about 4 cm thick. Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C for 20 minutes, making sure to stir the dough so it dries on all sides without changing color.
