Baklava Ingredients
Baklava Directions
1. Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, mix together the chopped walnuts, sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
2. Layer the Phyllo
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Lay down one sheet of phyllo pastry, brush it with melted butter, and repeat this process until you have about 8 sheets layered.
3. Add Filling
Spread a layer of the walnut mixture over the phyllo. Then, add 4 more sheets of phyllo, each brushed with butter, before adding another layer of walnuts. Repeat this process until all filling is used, finishing with a top layer of phyllo (at least 8 sheets).
4. Cut and Bake
Using a sharp knife, cut the baklava into diamond or square shapes. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown.
5. Prepare the Syrup
While the baklava is baking, combine honey and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
6. Finish the Baklava
Once the baklava is done baking, immediately pour the hot syrup over it. Allow it to soak for several hours, or overnight, before serving.
