I had to experiment a lot before I discovered a combination of ingredients that bring the true flavor of authentic Knefeh.
I found that Ricotta and Fresh Mozerella worked very well together as a substitute for the Akkawi or Nabulsi cheese since they are not easy to find. I also realized that adding salt to the dough contrasts the sweetness of the syrup and brings a good balance to the flavors.
