Ekmek Tsoureki is a variation from the popular dessert Ekmek Kataifi. Ekmek is a Turkish word that means bread. However, the Greek version of this renowned dessert is usually made on the basis of Kataifi dough.
My variation uses remains from the beloved Greek Easter Bread-Tsoureki, when it becomes stale, since it is a pity to throw it away. So the recipe ends up being closer to the authentic one.
My recipe is, of course, easier than Ekmek Kataifi because all you have to do is the pastry cream and syrup! It is a delightful dessert that you will enjoy eating after Easter and can even be prepared by older children!!
Suitable for lacto-ovo vegetarians.
