Baklava Ingredients
Method
Baklava Preparation
Prepare the Ingredients
Thaw the phyllo dough according to package instructions. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Make sure not to brown it.
Make the Nut Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
Assemble the Baklava
Brush a 9x13 inch baking dish with some melted butter. Layer 8 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each sheet with melted butter. Spread a thin layer of the nut mixture. Repeat the layering process (phyllo and nut mixture) until all ingredients are used, finishing with 8 layers of phyllo dough on top.
Cut the Baklava
Using a sharp knife, cut the baklava into diamond or square shapes.
Bake
Bake the baklava in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until golden brown.
Add Syrup to Baklava
Once the baklava is done baking, remove it from the oven and pour the syrup evenly over the hot baklava. Let it cool before serving.
