How To Make Baklava

Play Online How To Make Baklava

Making baklava involves a few key steps. First, you need to prepare the phyllo dough layers, which are typically brushed with melted butter and layered in a baking dish. Between the layers of phyllo, a mixture of chopped nuts (often walnuts, pistachios, or almonds) and spices like cinnamon is spread. After layering, the dough is cut into pieces and baked until golden. Once baked, a syrup made from sugar, water, and often honey, sometimes flavored with lemon or rose water, is poured over the hot baklava. This sweetens the dessert and gives it a moist, sticky texture. The baklava is then left to soak up the syrup before serving.
