Baklava Components

Method

Baklava Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Nut Filling

    In a bowl, combine chopped walnuts, pistachios, almonds, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Phyllo Dough

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt the butter in a saucepan. Take a sheet of phyllo dough, brush it with melted butter, and layer it in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Repeat this process for about 8 sheets.

  3. 3

    Layer the Nut Filling

    Spread a layer of the nut mixture over the phyllo dough. Continue layering with more phyllo sheets (8 sheets) and more nut filling, repeating until all the nuts are used, ending with a top layer of phyllo sheets (about 8-10 sheets).

  4. 4

    Cut and Bake

    With a sharp knife, cut the baklava into diamond or square shapes. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Syrup

    While baklava is baking, combine water, honey, and vanilla extract in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 10-15 minutes.

  6. 6

    Finalize the Baklava

    Once the baklava is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the hot syrup over the baklava. Allow it to cool completely before serving.
