Ingredients

1 package kataifi dough (1 pound), completely thawed out and at room temperature.
1/2 pound unsalted butter, melted
Filling:
1 cup ground walnuts
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup orange juice or lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Syrup:
2 cups honey
1 cup sugar
2 and 1/2 cups water
1-2 cinnamon sticks
orange peel or lemon peel

1/4 cup orange juice or lemon juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the Syrup:
Combine sugar, water, cinnamon sticks, orange/lemon peel, and juice in a saucepan.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract and honey and let the syrup cool completely.
Make the Filling:
In a bowl, combine the ground walnuts, sugar, breadcrumbs, orange or lemon juice, cinnamon, and cloves.
Prepare the Kataifi Dough:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Gently unroll the kataifi dough and separate it into 3–4 inch-wide strips. Keep the dough covered with a damp towel to prevent drying.
Assemble the Rolls:
Brush each strip of dough generously with melted butter.
Place a small amount of the walnut filling at one end of the strip.
Roll tightly, tucking the filling inside as you go. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Bake:
Arrange the rolls snugly in a buttered baking dish. Brush the tops with more melted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40–50 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Add the Syrup:

Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and immediately pour the cooled syrup evenly over the hot rolls. Let them absorb the syrup for at least 1 hour.
7. Serve:
Serve the kataifi rolls at room temperature, garnished with extra chopped walnuts if desired.
