• Baklava

    Classic Honey-Walnut Baklava with Crisp Phyllo Layers

    Ingredients:

    For the baklava:

    1 package phyllo dough (16 oz), thawed

    2 cups walnuts, finely chopped

    1 cup pistachios, finely chopped

    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    1 cup unsalted butter, melted

    For the syrup:

    1 cup granulated sugar

    1 cup water

    1/2 cup honey

    1 tablespoon lemon juice

    1 cinnamon stick

    2 strips lemon peel

    Directions:

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

    In a bowl, mix walnuts, pistachios, and cinnamon.

    Brush a 9x13-inch baking dish with melted butter. Place one sheet of phyllo dough in the pan, brush with butter, and repeat until 8 layers are stacked.

    Sprinkle a thin layer of the nut mixture over the phyllo. Add 4 more phyllo layers (buttering each), then another layer of nuts. Repeat until all nuts are used. Finish with 8 more phyllo sheets on top, buttering each.

    Cut the unbaked baklava into diamond or square shapes with a sharp knife.

    Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

    While baklava bakes, make the syrup. Combine sugar, water, honey, lemon juice, cinnamon stick, and lemon peel in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

    Remove baklava from the oven and immediately pour the warm syrup evenly over the hot baklava. Let it cool completely and soak for several hours or overnight before serving.
