Baklava Directions

Prepare the Nut Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, chopped pistachios, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.

Prepare the Phyllo Dough
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan. Lay out the phyllo dough and cover it with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.

Layer the Phyllo and Nut Mixture
Brush a 9x13 inch baking dish with melted butter. Place the first layer of phyllo dough in the dish and brush it with butter. Repeat this process with about 8 layers of phyllo, brushing each layer with butter. Evenly sprinkle a layer of the nut mixture over the phyllo. Repeat the layering process until all the nuts are used, finishing with about 8 layers of phyllo dough on top.
