Baklava Ingredients

Method

Baklava Directions

1

Prepare the Nut Filling

In a bowl, mix the chopped walnuts, sugar, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

2

Layer the Phyllo Dough

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt the butter in a saucepan. Brush a 9x13 inch baking dish with melted butter. Layer 8 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each sheet with melted butter before adding the next.

3

Add the Nut Mixture

Spread the walnut mixture evenly over the phyllo layers.

4

Continue Layering

Add 8 more layers of phyllo dough, brushing each with butter. Repeat this process until all the walnut mixture is used and finish with 8 layers of phyllo dough on top, brushing each layer with butter.

5

Cut the Baklava

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

6

Bake the Baklava

Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until golden brown.

7

Prepare the Syrup

In a saucepan, combine honey and water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes.

8

Add Syrup to Baklava

Once the baklava is out of the oven, pour the honey syrup evenly over the hot baklava.

9

Cool and Serve

Allow the baklava to cool completely before serving. Enjoy your delicious baklava!
