Güllaç
One serving has 499 kcal and 13 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of manganese (52%), riboflavin (49%), copper (47%), phosphorus (39%), thiamin (39%) and cobalamin (38%). Ready in 80 minutes.

- Preparation: 75 min
- Cooking: 5 min
- Makes: 1 serving (305 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, gluten, nut
Ingredients
- 50 g Phyllo dough
- 200 g Milk, whole
- 25 g Sugar
- 20 g Walnuts
- 10 g Water
Method
- Warm the milk with the sugar until the sugar dissolves; keep it warm but not boiling.
- Lay a sheet of the pastry in a dish and ladle some of the warm sweet milk over it until well soaked.
- Repeat with more sheets, ladling milk between each layer and scattering crushed walnuts between some of the layers; traditional güllaç uses special starch wafers rather than phyllo, which is a softer stand-in here.
- Pour any remaining milk (with a splash of rose water stirred in, if using) over the top layer and let it soak in for at least 1 hour in the fridge.
- Slice into squares and serve chilled, topped with a few more crushed walnuts.
