Baklava Ingredients
Baklava Directions
1. Prepare the Nut Filling
In a food processor, pulse the walnuts, almonds, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until finely chopped. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Phyllo Dough
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt the butter in a saucepan. Carefully unroll the phyllo dough and cover it with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.
3. Assemble the Baklava
Brush a 9x13 inch baking dish with melted butter. Layer 8 sheets of phyllo dough in the dish, brushing each layer with butter. Spread a thin layer of the nut mixture over the phyllo. Repeat layering with 4 sheets of phyllo followed by the nut filling, until all the nuts are used. Finish with 8 layers of buttered phyllo on top.
4. Cut and Bake
Using a sharp knife, cut the assembled baklava into diamond or square shapes. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until golden brown.
5. Prepare the Syrup
While the baklava is baking, combine sugar, water, honey, and vanilla extract in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
6. Finish the Baklava
Once the baklava is done baking, pour the cooled syrup over the hot baklava. Allow it to soak for several hours or overnight before serving.
