Outline of kadayif
Term kadayif (Turkish: kadayıf) is used to describe a variety of pastry desserts in the Turkish cuisine, including the actual confections and unfinished intermediate products like dough.[1] Arabic products made of similar dough are called knafeh.[2] While the word kadayif comes from Arabic qatayef linguistically, there is little overlap between the actual Arabic qatayef and Turkish kadayif desserts.[2] Kadayif as a generic name for a group of pastry desserts can be found in the cookbook Melceü't-Tabbâhîn (1844).[3]
- Unfinished products include:
- Kadayif flour , a special flour made from the bisquit class wheat;[4]
- Wire kadayif, also known as tel kadayif[5] and string kadayif,[2] is a vermicelli-like,[2] semi-processed product made by mixing wheat flour and water, cooked and optionally fried;[4][6]
- Tray kadaif (TS 10344), per Turkish standard TS 10344 it is a semi-processed (baked) water and flour mix product.[7][verification needed] Tray kadaif can also refer to a finished product (see below);
- Başar & Boz[6] mention lean kadayif and yufka kadayif. "Yufka" means "thin" and, at the same time, can be used to refer to filo dough.

- Tray kadayif (dessert), a dessert produced using tel kadayif and walnut. Variety of oils, hazelnut, sugar syrups can be added;[6][8]
