Baklava Ingredients
Method
Baklava Preparation
Prepare the Nut Mixture
In a food processor, combine the walnuts, sugar, and ground cinnamon. Pulse until finely chopped. Set aside.
Prepare the Phyllo Dough
Thaw the phyllo dough according to package instructions. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Repeat Layers
Continue layering phyllo dough and nut mixture, alternating until all nuts are used, finishing with a top layer of phyllo (at least 8 sheets).
Cut the Baklava
Using a sharp knife, cut the baklava into diamond or square shapes before baking.
Bake the Baklava
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown.
Add Syrup to Baklava
Once the baklava is done baking, immediately pour the hot syrup over it, ensuring that it seeps into the cuts.
Cool and Serve
Allow the baklava to cool completely before serving. Serve at room temperature.
