Baklava Ingredients
Method
Baklava Preparation Directions
Prepare the Nut Filling
Chop the figs and walnuts into small pieces using a knife or food processor. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped figs, walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon, and mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Prepare the Phyllo Dough
Thaw the phyllo dough according to package instructions. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Layer the Baklava
In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, lay down one sheet of phyllo dough and brush it with melted butter. Repeat this process, layering and buttering each sheet for about 8 sheets. After the 8 layers, spread a portion of the nut filling evenly over the dough. Continue layering 4 more sheets of phyllo, buttering each one, then add more nut filling. Repeat this process until all of the filling is used, finishing with at least 8 layers of phyllo on top.
Cut the Baklava
Using a sharp knife, cut the baklava into diamond or square shapes. Be sure to cut through all the layers of phyllo.
Bake the Baklava
Bake the baklava in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Finish the Baklava
Once the baklava is done baking, immediately pour the cooled syrup over the hot baklava, ensuring even coverage. Allow the baklava to cool completely before serving.
