Wrap seasoned shrimp, chicken, or even vegetables in a small bundle of toasted kataifi threads and pan-fry or bake until the threads turn deep golden and crisp.

The toasted threads are neutral in flavor and crisp in texture, which makes them equally suited to sweet pastries like knafeh, baklava, and Dubai chocolate bars, and to savory applications like cheese pies, wraps, and crispy appetizers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this product with an air fryer instead of a conventional oven?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The thin, pre-toasted threads crisp up beautifully in an air fryer at a moderate temperature, usually around 325 to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for a few minutes. Watch closely, as the fine threads can brown quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is included in the 7 oz pack, and what do I need to buy separately?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach pack contains 7 oz (200g) of pre-toasted shredded fillo dough, sealed for freshness.

It is not suitable for anyone with celiac disease or a wheat allergy. The label clearly states the allergen so it can be stored safely in shared kitchens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I store the pack after opening it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePress the resealable closure closed and store the pack in a cool, dry pantry away from humidity and direct sunlight. Avoid refrigerating the opened pack, as condensation can soften the toasted threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between kataifi and shredded phyllo dough?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKataifi and shredded phyllo are closely related, both made from a thin flour-and-water dough. Kataifi, also called kadayif, is typically cut into very fine, thread-like strands and is a staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean desserts like knafeh and baklava. Shredded phyllo can vary in thickness and is often used as a general pastry topping. Pre-toasted kataifi delivers a finer, more uniform, and ready-to-use texture for these specific recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tavnio","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":52369036411160,"sku":"VJPB0DSQT1L37","price":8.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/3634\/8184\/files\/pre-toasted-crispy-shredded-fillo-dough-ready-to-use-straigh.jpg?v=1783266691","url":"https:\/\/tavnio.myshopify.com\/products\/antika-gourmet-toasted-kataifi-pastry-unique-gourmet-gift-for-bakers-who-love-the-dubai-chocolate-trend","provider":"Tavnio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
