Baklava. Using a sharp knife cut into diamond or square shapes all the way to the bottom of the pan. Combine the nuts, cinnamon and ground crackers in a bowl. USE PISTACHIOs is the key to a more original baklava (according to my Turkish hubby).

You can have Baklava using 7 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you achieve it.

Ingredients of Baklava

1. Prepare 2 packs of filo dough.
2. Prepare 300 gr of walnut (fine chopped).
3. You need 250 gr of butter.
4. Prepare 400 gr of sugar.
5. You need 300 ml of water.
6. It’s 1 of cinnamon stick.
7. Prepare of Whipped cream (200 gr) (optional).

Baklava is normally prepared in large pans. Many layers of filo dough, separated with melted butter and vegetable oil, are laid in the pan. A layer of chopped nuts—typically walnuts or pistachios, but hazelnuts are also sometimes used—is placed on top, then more layers of filo. Most recipes have multiple layers of filo and nuts, though some have only top and bottom pastry.

Baklava step by step

1. First add sugar and stick cinnamon into water and boiled for 15 minutes. Leave to cool..

2. Cut filo sheets as your tray's size (it is hard to cut after finished) and cover them with a clean tea towel. (Because they are getting dry quickly).

3. Melt your butter but not burn.

4. Spread butter on tray and put one sheet of filo spread butter on sheet. You will do same thing every sheet when you finished half of sheets..

5. Add walnut crumbs on the sheet and spread whipped cream on walnuts (if you want to have more crunchy you shouldn't add cream).

6. Put a sheet of filo and spread melted butter on sheet. Continue to do put sheet and spread butter till finished your sheets. Spread butter top of pastry and cut before cooked. (if you prefer you can spread walnuts every 5 sheets).

7. Put 180°c before heated oven and cook for minimum 40 mins. (if you bake too quick it could be soft inside we don't want to do this).

8. Add your cold syrup on warm baklava with a large spoon. Sprinkle the walnut crunchs top of your baklava. Enjoy!.
