Baklava is mentioned in Aladdin. By the legend himself Robin Williams. Could do a Robin Williams special for his birthday next year.

@@theodoreportlain ITS NOT GREEK PASTRY
@@erwkaq6091 read that again, he didnt say its greek
Honestly, my only difficulty in fillo is the fact that you need to roll it until it is very thin. But even then, I think I did a pretty good job when I first made tyropita and spanakopita. Now for sweeter delicacies that's a different issue😅.

"Until it is mentioned on a TV show or movie" - Um, Babbo, are you forgetting the hit Disney movie Aladdin, where the Genie literally buries Aladdin in baklava during Friend Like Me?
You know now what you must do.
Also in the Old Guard Andy eats baklava and analyzes its contents so.... I'm expecting accurately sourced ingredients
@@lrthesier208 I was coming here to say the same thing.
There is that Perfect episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog where Muriel (and Courage) try to make baklava, only the dough is lighter than air (before vanishing into), and the syrup is blowable like bubble gum.
Definitely not the same as the baklava I grew up with, but there's many ways to make baklava. I think everyone loves the baklava they grew up with, for me thats a more crispy diamond-shaped baklava with walnuts and a lightly sweet syrup (sherbet).
Our syrup never used honey, just sugar, water, butter and lemon is very important. You want the syrup to have a more light sweetness, not like caramel or honey, it was never overpowering in sweetness, just the right amount of sweetness, a thin handmade dough, cooked to be slightly crisped but not too hard and nutty.
Aynen
May I ask where your family is from?
That's really cool Jul, I like the variations people bring on these comment threads :) I had baklava at a Lebanese restaurant and there was definitely some honey in the syrupy pastry, but weirdly a pinch of cinnamon came through aswell. I love cinnamon and honey combined so I had no complaints! :)
Oh that is a different recipe from the baklava I know and love. But I will try yours too, it sounds delicious! 😋
The recipe I grew up with is the syrup we use water, honey, sugar, orange or lemon zest (I much prefer orange), cinnamon stick and some cloves. Very rarely do we ever add this one ingredient of star Anise, only around the holidays we do that because it really dose bring some cheer into the syrup and make it taste more intensely like cinnamon and our family personally loves it.. Otherwise we do not use it because not everyone likes that. The result of this syrup is a thick, caramel honey taste that has a tangy taste of the orange to add to the sweetness or the tangy citrus of lemon to cut through the sweetness just right. It balances out better with the lemon but my family is a bunch of sweet tooths. Ahah 😆
My hometown is Pylos, everyone there makes the syrup like this. I feel you might be from the more North area of the Mediterranean, the dishes there are so similar but slightly different in a tasty way unknown to us. Hopefully I can recreate your recipe well and I'll get back to you when I have! 😊 😋 ❤
Never heard of butter in the syrup.

@Jace Smith I am Greek and i can safely say that baklavas does not originate from Greece its' origins come from ottoman empire and it then became well known in the cousins of middle east, central Asia, Balkans (Greece is part of the Balkans) and some other parts let me know if I am wrong though
Edit: though might I add that each place prepares baklava differently so you can say that each place has its' own baklava I guess.
@Jace Smith how am I treacherous over sweet things XD? and I never said it's Turkish I said it originates from ottoman empire(or at least that's what I heard and read) not Greece whether or not it's Greek or Turkish doesn't rly matter since the baklava from Greece and Turkey are different
@Jace Smith hahahahahahhahahahaha I mean baklava Is suuuuuuper tasty so I get it. Damn this makes me want to eat some right now
@Jace Smith yup baklava is greek, just like everything else that was ever made in the history of mankind. clown

Yep he does lol.
Wait he dose? I completely missed that!
It makes sense too because, and fun fact incoming, allot of Byzantium Empire food comes from the Arabic Empire. I'm not sure how but the influence can be seen if you look closely at the two cultures.
Also, I feel Arab is the origin of all the foods that both Turkey and Greece share. But ever since Arab culture has died down, the food that got carried to other cultures are being split in credit and in names. Its confusing to keep track lol each culture calls the same food a different name now. 😆
@@angeliki5135
He does indeed.
Hey Babish,
There is a tiny tiny flaw in your baklava. I am from Turkey, where baklava originates from(probably) and I can say that your baklava is more about the fillings. Traditional baklava is more about the pastry and the syrup. Traditionally speaking baklava has a chunky one layer filling. It has a thinner bottom layer which sucks the syrup a lot and gets soggy, and the bottom thick and puffed up one is more crunchy. Looks delicious and I love you man!!!
ALSOO pls dont put cinnamon to the syrup it was painful to watch you put it in
You saved yourself from a war when you said probably
@@deryaozdemir2520 And honey... I was confused as hell when I saw him put honey in it.
If you branded this as “Baklava from The Office” the views would probably double
but then it would be "binging" and not "basics" with babish and he would have to make the pastry himself

I am from turkey and my grandma makes baklava every year for holidays. Something is off about this baklava. There should be more layers, a little bit bigger and chunkier pistachio, the syrup must be boiling when you pour it on the baklava so it looks like the dough is dancing at first because of the boiling syrup. It should not be dry, but soaked in syrup. You roll out dough yourself, it should be really thin because there will be a lot of layers and it will swell with syrup.
Also it is made in round, big, metal trays because it is meant to be served to guests, relatives and other family members during those holidays and special days.

It's not local, Baklava is Greek
@@per4n It's Turkish. Greeks saying "Ours" to everything :D
I hope you called your grandmother.
Don’t listen to the dummys saying baklava is Greek. Baklava was created by the Ottomans, who happen to be….Greek, Turkish, Syrian, Lebanese and many more! The idea that one country owns a dish that was created under an empire is a load of bs
"Might not use all the syrup"
You're doing it wrong if you think this is a valid statement.
Alternative solution, make more baklava, the syrup is wise we should listen to its advice and just keep making baklava

Just made this a week ago and this recipe is delicious! Both the chocolate and traditional versions are really good, which was a little surprising since I was concerned about the lemon syrup clashing with the chocolate (but it went great!). I didn't have any hazelnuts, so I substituted pecans instead, and it came out great to; kind of like a reconstructed chocolate pecan pie. Took me about 6 hours to make total, though if you have the time I would totally recommend making it! Great job once again, Babish!

its from turkey... Thats all
To argue that something came from Greece or Turkey is similar to saying that you were born in an airport. This region has been a crossroad for tens and hundreds of cultures and civilizations, it's hard to say what came from where.
@@joanbanan2016 It's from The Ottoman Empire.
@@wastagwaga An actual intelligent comment? We don't do that here.
As a turkish person, I know there are a lot of others, all I can say is that while this sort of syrupy baklava is commonly known, a "dry" variation is much more sought after and is made with much less syrup and nuts, almost exclusively pistachios. If memory serves right, they're made with 15 or so layers on the bottom, with a thick layer of nuts and then a relatively thinner layer of dough but here's the kicker, you don't put the butter in between every layer. The bottom layers do get buttered down but top ones dont. And once they're out of the oven, you pour down the COLD syrup on piping hot baklava. Add some more butter and cook it on a stove, boiling for a few minutes.
2:00 actually it is mentioned in a movie: Old guard, Charlize Theron‘s character takes a bite of it and starts describing the ingredients. Check it out!
Baklava is prominently mentioned in the cinematic masterpiece Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again don’t be makin excuses Andrew.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love it when I see Turkish food on places like here. But just because of that I'm not giving the video a like
traditionally, you need many many more bottom layers without any nuts, and on top, you need at least 10 top layers without any nuts. And you need to pour the syrup boiling hot.
In my birthtown, it is usually done with more than 40 layers, all nuts on a single middle layer.
you can do it like this too, but the experience and texture is really different. This is not an easy dish to do from scratch, thanks for popularising it.
@ZEYNEP ACA beypazari
Indeed kardeslerim
this is NO WHERE near like the real deal
but as a Turk, I appreciate the flexible methods.
No where near is a little harsh, but yeah it's not 100% traditional. Im turkish too.
As a Syrian I can agree with that statement. And it takes a lot for me to agree with a Turk on anything food related.
@@samuel88andrews whoa whats going on? you guys are supposed to argue with each other in 27 comments
"This honey's pretty *okay* but I feel we can kick it up a notch by creating our own beehive."
In the Ballkans, most baklava recipes use walnuts. I have two favorite kinds - the Greek baklava where the middle layer looks like cake, and the small round ash baklava, or baklava with a hole, made in Central North Bulgaria.

I can see that you cook food from diferent countries 😊

ok
And now I realize my headphone's speakers are backwards inside their head band.
there’s no way I could use pistachios. i’d end up eating them the entire time. so what would be a cup and a half, would be empty. because once I start eating them... it’s a wrap. I usually end up crushing the whole bag. I have no self control.
Same here bro, difference is I'd probably die from that amount, nut allergy gang 🤪⚰
As you should
Me: wondering what the hell is everyone talking about with the left aide comments.
Me puts on headphones: ohhhh....
I only ever wear my left earpiece, so I didn't notice it at all until comment section, then I put the second earpiece in and was instantly uncomfortable xD
I am Turkish and I live in the region where baklava is the most common, but I have never seen such baklava making anywhere. But I respect everyone's methods, by the way, we call the shape of the baklava you make as mussel baklava.
The Office ep. 501-Stanley: Taste changed. Now all I like is Baklava.
Babish has the heart and skills of a old black southern lady who calls everyone baby
Yes.
I've been in sore need of that lately and didn't even know it, lol (I'm black as well). Been working from home too much, a piece of my introverted self actually misses working around other people if for no other reason than ti just hear the babble of others around me so I can disappear within it :)
Or calls everyone by "Sugar".
Eh can't relate. Not from usa
@@prateekkarn9277 that sucks for you cause its the most heart warming thing
If you ever come to Turkey chefs here do that like a 100 layer. You might wanna try that aswell
I'll do better than your chefs over in Turkey. I'll do 101 layers
@@leechyfruit4464 No one stops you from doing it. But you should make lears yourself too. That's how it's mostly made in Turkey.
Me: A Turk trying to lose weight, struggling to quit eating baklava
Babish: Making a video about baklava
Me: *dies*
Be me: *a Greek who cannot eat anything with gluten and trying to not think of Baklava*
Babish: *makes Baklava*
Me: *dies alongside my Turkish friend*
We both love Baklava 💘 ❤
Life of Boris fans: Hey I’ve seen this one!
Binging with Banish fans: What do you mean it’s brand new?
I was looking for someone mentioning boris lol
I actually just made Boris's recipe from scratch a month ago, and if there's one I learned, it's to just buy the damn filo (phyllo?) dough!
The only good recipe from Life of Boris channel is holodets (meat jelly)
at least boris got the audio right ;)
No boris made thicclava
"I'm gonna eat it for breakfast every day this week"
Same
I just put this in the oven! Wow! I like the lemon and cinnamon added to the syrup. Making this for guests- can't wait to try it. Thanks for the great recipe.
Bingings idea based on this: Baklava from the netflix original: The Old Guard
A “You Suck at Cooking” shoutout 🥺💖
Babish: I’ll save that for when it’s mentioned in a movie or TV Show
Genie from Aladdin: Say what you wish, it’s yours, true dish, how ‘bout a little more BAKLAVAAAAAA!
I’ll be waiting for the episode
also a whole scene about baklava in The Old Guard. where one of the main characters as a fun test/game, identifies where each baklava was made because each region has a specific way they make it typically
@@violet_skrs That’s actually really interesting and would make for a cool episode
Me watch this videoq
My right ear: DEAF
Everyone is saying right, but i can only hear him in the right
@@snailsaredumb9412 You've either got your earbuds/headset backwards or you are not using stereo lol
@@brandonhall9169 they were on the right way, i turned on 'Dolby atmos', and went *from* stereo *to* mono and now I can hear him in both buds
@@snailsaredumb9412 Yeah, mono fixed the balance for me as well. Don't forget to turn it back to stereo though lol, I do that all the time listening to older songs in mono and forget to change it back
@@brandonhall9169 it only happens with this video
Your 8 million sub special should be you making either:
Arthur- Leaning Tower of Pisa Honeycakes
Green Eggs and Ham TV Show- The Ham-Egg-Edon
The Simpsons- that Ethiopian dish Marge, Bart, & Lisa were eating from, "The Food Wife", episode
My mom and grandmothers used to use peanuts for the filler. The smell of it baking on the holidays in the morning is very nostalgic for me.
Peanuts?
Gross.
If you’re looking for a film version (and a challenge for the homemade filo dough), The Old Guard has a pretty in-depth baklava analysis scene, which would be slightly different from the two made here.
Also, The Old Guard is just good and more people should watch it.
Hazelnut, flax seed, pomegranate, rose water, and from eastern turkey, though i dont know how location matters when making baklava, but different regions probably make it a little differently.
The Old Guard is one of my favorite movies
@@ethanlee8307 it is about which peopole make it in the east there is more arabic like people called kurds they are the biggest ethnic group other than turks in the east turkey there is other ethnic groups like armenians , old greeks , etc its probably a mix of cultural foods but nobody really makes baklava like that when we think of baklava we think something like banish did maybe with diffrent nut and shapes
Excellent choice with the hazelnut, omggggg
Found ya
hazelnut in Baklava is as much needed as asbestos in cotton candy.
~sent by a Turk
Baklava can't be eaten if it's not dipped in tons of syrup.

Who gives a shit?
~sent by an American
I do.
~I do.
So I made this for some friends last weekend, they were blown away as was I. Now they're looking at me like I'm a real chief. Did I mention that my friends aren't very bright or cultured? Can't wait to try the chocolate hazelnut.
That still-image outro was weird. The audio transition into the outro was weird. Actually, all of the audio in general was weird.
I know my boy Babby didn't edit this.
On your left
He probably just did a mistake
The intro felt really abrupt too. He just went straight in with it. Man spent his whole editing time layering pasty.
yeah ikrr...i think he was high on all that sugar from the baklava
“Taste changed. Now all I like is baklava.” -Stanley Hudson
"MENTIONED IN A SHOW" GOTTA DO IT NOW
Everyone here talkin bout Aladdin for the tv/movie, but in The Old Guard, Andy literally gave all the ingredients for the one she was eating 🤷🏽
I was just thinking about it when I saw the thumbnail
