Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

1. Bring the milk to a boil with the sugar, then let cool to lukewarm and stir in the rose water.
2. Ladle about 300 ml of the milk into a large dish, and lay a güllaç sheet on top; ladle enough milk over it to fully soak and soften it.
3. Layer 5 more sheets this way, each soaked with milk.
4. Scatter the walnuts evenly over the sixth sheet.
5. Layer the remaining 6 sheets on top, each soaked with milk, and pour the remaining milk over the top.
6. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours so the sheets absorb the milk. ⏱ Timer: 3 h
7. Cut into slices and serve cold, garnished with pistachios and pomegranate seeds.

Tips

• The sheets are fragile, handle them carefully, but they soften quickly in the milk.
• The milk should be lukewarm: hot milk makes the sheets fall apart, cold milk softens them too slowly.
