Method

Filling

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, chopped pistachios, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Pastry

  1. 2

    Prepare the Phyllo Dough

    Thaw the phyllo dough according to package instructions. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 3

    Layer the Phyllo

    Brush a 9x13 inch baking dish with melted butter. Layer 10 sheets of phyllo dough in the dish, brushing each sheet with melted butter before adding the next. After 10 layers, spread a layer of the nut filling over the dough.

  3. 4

    Continue Layering

    Repeat the process: add 5 more layers of phyllo (again brushing each layer with butter), then another layer of nut filling. Continue this pattern until all filling is used, finishing with 10 layers of phyllo on top. Brush the top layer generously with butter.

  4. 5

    Cut the Baklava

    Using a sharp knife, cut the baklava into diamond or square shapes before baking.

Syrup

  1. 6

    Make the Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine the water, granulated sugar, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 7

    Bake and Add Syrup

    Bake the baklava for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until golden brown. Once baked, immediately pour the cooled syrup over the hot baklava, ensuring it soaks into the layers.
