Osh el Bulbul with Nutella

Osh el Bulbul ” (Birds’ Nest) Made of a vermicelli-like pastry dough spun into bite-sized nests and loaded with whole nuts! Incredibly crunchy with the perfect amount of sweetness

These nests are are baked instead of fried and they are the easiest kunafa you can make. It is very popular during Ramadan and Eid.

Usually these nests are filling with nuts but today we will fill them with Nutella.

Ingredients 

500 grams konafa dough

 Nutella

 1cup almond

1 cup ghee (melted)

2 cups sugar syrup

Instructions  

1 Bring a baking tray and brush it with ghee. Roll the threads of the kunafa in a circle so that it looks like small nests and put them in the baking tray.

2 Cover the tray and leave at room temperature one to one hour and half.

3 Preheat oven to 355 F.

4 Pour melted ghee to cover the nests, and put the tray directly in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes until the nests golden brown.

5 Transfer the nests to another tray. Let it cool. Pour the sugar syrup over the nests.

6 Fill each nest with nutella and almond.

Transfer kunafa nests to a serving dish. Serve cold.
