You’re so right, it really is one of the best things to eat. I’m making this for thanksgiving which sounds a little weird. Thank you!
Love Baklava, both Greek and Armenian versions...two different recipes and two absolutely delicious!
God bless you.. beautiful video
Thank you so much, we have always been wondering how we can make some awesome baklava. It's honestly one of the best desserts it's sweet, flaky, a little bit savory. So delicious!
My first time making this dessert. It was delicious. Really like it. Lucky there is descriptions about recipe that i can read. Sorry to tell its so annoying to hear the sound how he talks. Prefer mute it n watch the video and read the description. Anyway thanks for sharing the recipe
He sounds like he's recording this from a merry-go-round and trying to say as much as he can each time he comes back around to the mic.
Great, simple recipe though! Will definitely try it out!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"We are Not Machines"
Are you sure
@@happyhippoeaters4261 Um... What?
When I first heard his voice, I couldn’t get over the way he talks. I made fun of it constantly but in time, it became comforting and now I don’t even notice. You too will come to like it. *chants: ONE OF US
Ran OMG that’s EXACTLY it! 🤣🤣
“If you feel you have a much better way, feel free to keep that to yourself.” LOOOOOOOOOOOL
dumb idiot dude, making somewhat magic:D
😂 when did he say that?
Sone 00:27
I actually liked that. No nonsense attitude.
@@fridayschild722 me, too. I may use the comment myself in the future
I love that when you speak, you can actually hear the *comma*
Like a valley girl.
😂
I can’t take it!!!!!
omg i never thought of it that way lmao
That fucking inflection.
"Like when you add a pinch of Cayenne... You don't really notice it's presence but you may notice its absence. ".... This spoke to me on many levels
I don't generally like sweets but....good Baklava will blow your mind. Seriously.
James Patrick PREEEEEACH! I just had some from BROOKLYN BAKLAVA here in NYC that it made look for it on here to see how to make one! IT WAS AMAZING! 🙌🏾
The best baklava I've had was at the Greek Festival in Charlotte NC. They had several different versions and if I had the money i would have gotten them all.
A traditional turkish bakery in my city has amazing baklava! A well made baklava is like biting into a piece of heaven. So good..
@@leidy2780 if you have time try ones from Gaziantep 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Baklava must be what they eat in heaven.
"we are not machines, we are human and things are gonna happen" that made me feel better about myself wtf
As a cybernetic organism, have you seen John Connor?
quite the comment when being reminded that 'to err is human' can be seen as profound and life changing...
@@wrongfootmcgee They didn't say it was life changing, they just said it made them feel better about themselves. Because it's nice to be reminded that you don't have to be perfect, especially when you're always so hard on yourself.
@@malloryg4251 its the 'wtf' at the end that colored my response
you wanna fight?
@@wrongfootmcgee the wtf is so weird. Maybe they don't realize what it means 🤔 🤷
“If you have a steady hand, which I don’t. And you know what you’re doing, which I don’t.” SAME 😂😂
When I was a kid, my Greek friend's mother used to make these for the holidays. WHAT A TREAT!!! I had no idea it was this easy to make. THANK YOU VERY MUCH CHEF JOHN!!!
If you have a steady hand.... which I don’t.
If you know what you’re doing.... which I don’t. 😆😆
that part got me too! lol
That part got me😂😂
If we all were honest during our reviews.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I loved that too, he is super!!
Well, Chef John, now you have to make a video that is nothing but bad puns and vague references. The people demand it.
Look up the video titled, "Chef John Rhymin' and Stealin'."
i will even watch a Chef John video about how to boil water
CovfefeAddict Gonna have plenty of time to give it the ol tappa tapp when you're LIVING IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER.
Vale LOL
me too!
This guy doesn't have a Fullstop, he just bangging out those Commas.

"It's not as much damp as it's not-dry..."
For some reason that one made me burst out with laughter!
My wife is from Bulgaria. She said you can use lemon if you don't have fancy water. I'm lucky I get to eat Baklava several times a year.
Have you guys considered adoption? I mean I'm 28 but don't let that stop you from giving a guy a good home that comes with Baklava.
KingTomato117 lol! ... no but I can send you to live with my mother in law. See makes good Baklava 🤣
I use cardamom because I just like it better. I don't care about being authentic. XD. Also, my partner is Greek so I get a free pass.
Dave Brock best reply by far! Made my day! 😂😂😂😂😂
If you're into polygamy, I'd like to propose now.
who else came to the comments to see if anyone commented on the way he talks?? he sounds like a more enthusiastic version of Chills
Today on food wishes, we make burgerking foot lettuce!
Omg what an comparison 😆😂
By far the best comment and comparison ever on TH-cam!
Best comparison ever man!!! OMG i'm dying right now...all I can think about is the Chili's baby back song the entire time!!!
Bahahaha LMAO
I’ve been buying food from a sweet Turkish lady who moved to my neighborhood and just tried baklava today! Wowww. My kind of dessert. Had to see how it was made ❤️
One word: Spanikopita. I bet she makes that, too.
@@apt5245 They are called Börek in Turkish, ıspanak böreği to be precise
@@ekn_38 whatever the name, still delicious :)
"We're gonna need a little bit of sugar."

Yes, was already close to ROTFL
This dude talks in iambic pentameter and I'm living for *EVERY* minute of it!
Geo Cyo that’s it!!! Thank you!!
Oh. My God. 🤯
Wait, watch a few more of his videos. Then go make some food. Before you know it you will start reciting your steps in the manner of Chef John. True story!
My wife, who is herself autistic, thinks that might be a sign of Asperger's syndrome. Then when I told her everyone of his videos had a celebrity name pun and all of his savory dishes has, "a pinch of cayenne pepper" she said, "He likes patterns. He really could be!"
Sounds like when you grab the volume knob and slide it up and down.
Play it at .5 speed and he sounds very stoned.
Which is awesome!!!!
I'm pretty sure that sliding the volume knob up and down makes it stop making sounds.
Irodragon lmfaooooo that’s so true!
It's not natural
It's intention
It's so obviously a gimmick
"... otherwise I would have had to fill up the time with bad puns, and nobody wants that"
But we all want that.
One more thing people, after you pour the syrup on the baklava, DO NOT COVER IT! It'll steam and make the baklava soggy, I've made baklava about 7 times, and the first time, I covered it and it got soggy, then the second time I didn't boil the syrup long enough so it didn't get absorbed by the pastry, and also the syrup and pastry were both hot, so it was just horrible, so remember to pour the syrup once its cooled over the still hot pastry, then it'll get absorbed quicker and properly. Again, DO NOT EVER COVER YOUR BAKLAVA WHEN IT IS IN THE PROCESS OF ABSORBING SYRUP.
soggy baklava. Okay shoot me
Mister Af - thanks! I'd hate to do all that work then ruin it at the end.
Yup, you're correct, my mom's rule is to pour hot syrup on cold baklava or cold syrup on hot baklava so that it stays crunchy.
Mister Af thanx
You're all welcome. Sorry for not replying, I didn't know you commented, good luck cooking!
May the universe bless you, Chef John.

Am I the only one who could literally sit here and listen to his narrative all day. I feel like my nice friendly uncle is tea hing me these recipes and I actually take in everything, which I sometimes find hard with other channels. Will be trying this over the weekend. Love the recipe, so simple and easy to follow. 💜
You are not alone!
Me too! I love his voice and superb teaching skills ❤
I made this recipe last night with my boyfriend as a date night idea. I cook and bake often, but my boyfriend doesn't at all. We each made our own batch from start to finish, and they both turned out amazing! We made the phyllo dough from scratch as per part 1 of this video, and we made the baklava exactly like this recipe. It turned out SOOO delicious. It will take a LONG time to make if you mess around like we were, but it was so worth it. Not eating it after it came out of the oven was the hardest part. We waited 40 minutes and had some while it was a little warm, but it honestly does taste better when it's just room temperature. Highly reccomend this recipe!
IT ALL SOUNDS LIKE A QUESTION?!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha
Ashley Abal he probably does it because he knows hundreds of people will feel the need to comment the obvious even if it's already been said countless times and the engagement increases the performance of the video which = more add revenue. People are painfully predictable, as is evident in the comments of this video.
I was excited to watch but I could only make it to 1:27
OMG?
When I first started watching him, I thought he sounded like Jillian from family guy
The happiness when you see him cooking your country's traditional tastes ❤
Sevil Kaya what's with the inflection on his voice at end the of every sentence like it's a question
Omg Im so onto that. I didnt want to say it to not to be rude but its really weird.
Sevil Kaya What country is that?
BBQ Pit Master Of The Universe turkey. Its really a culturallt shared dish with the greeks and what not.
Sevil Kaya Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Turkish (classic) baklava without mixed nuts and without cinnamon? This looks like a Greek style baklava.
I made this and it was inCREDible. Because I used store-bought phyllo dough it took hardly any time at all. Best part is it can sit out for a few hours and if people are late getting to your party it's still amazing later.
I've come to realize that I suffer from depression, and I have to say that your vids ALWAYS make me giggle out loud. Thanks Chef John. By the way, I made your black onion relish for the 4th of July and it was a HIT!
"So this is just how I do it and if you have what you think is a much better way, feel free to keep it to yourself because I like how this comes out." -Chef John
🤣🤣🤣 the first 30 seconds or so of this video about took me out! Priceless... love Chef John!
All these talk about chef john's voice! The voice is why I keep watching his video's! Love it.
Just like we can't please everyone, we can't piss everyone off either.
Exxxxactly!!! 🙌🏽👏🏽😂
right?? it makes the video interesting!
Same for me, the voice and the dad jokes
jimdevalk ahhaah me too! He got my attention by his voice then his sarcastic humor! 😂
Love his voice! Very entertaining and funny. I find myself watching his videos just for fun. He’s so informative and truly talented!
Chef John:
I made baklava the other day; I confess I saw several videos from which I took little somethings from but your video was the one that really taught me how to make baklava. Your instructions are extremly clear and the voice tilt makes one pay attention to every detail. I've done succesfully several recipes thanks to your videos but this was sublime, thank you so much! The baklava was a total hit even among persons that hadn't tasted one before, somebody even told me it was a slice of heaven😊
I can't begin to convey how good it was, thank you!
i want this as my last meal on death row, mainly because i´m allergic to any sort of nuts, cheating the system one last time
Trappy-Suu best comment
Trappy-Suu RIP
😂😂😂😂
I'm so late for this but, try it with coconuts it's good too
What is the crime you are planning on committing?
His talking style is so unique and captivating, and I love how he accents his presentations with witty humor, I just discovered Chef John's videos, I feel entertained as I learn the recipes.
I knew a man who sounds like Chef John. He started as a disk jockey in college and majored in broadcasting. Eventually ran a small, local AM station and created a recording studio in his home. He did a lot of local radio commercials over the years and i always knew it was him when I heard them! Funny guy too!
This may be my new favorite channel. Every recipe we try, has left us just shy of weeping in foodie joy..
O.M.G. I made your Baklava last night and now I’m a super star cook among my family. It was simple and delicious and not very hard to make. Thanks a million.
I love baklava, got it at a little Turkish cafe in Barcelona first. Best bit of your video was staring at it and picking out your piece😂😂
The Turkish version doesn't use honey, just simple syrup. The Greeks use honey. Wars have been fought over this. Chef John has taken the hybrid approach, which the Greeks and the Turks will hate.
As a Turkish I want to write something about origin of the word of baklava. Baklava comes from two indipendent Turkish words which are 'bal' and 'oklava'. So push the two words together, balli oklava turn into baklava. In Turkish 'bal' means honey, 'oklava' means rolling pin.
So baklava is etymologically a Turkish word and also a Turkish food.
With all the recent uploads I'm going to open up a bakery
That's the spirit!!!!!!
After all, you are the Mike Arredondo of selling your Bizcocho.
Feta Cheezz lmao 🤣😂
Karen Ortiz I'm glad I was able to make ur day 😬
Just used this recipe, everyone in my family said it was the best they've ever had. Thanks!!
Oh chef John never fails to make me laugh while watching his videos! Been 7 years since I subscribed and still his sense of humor is amazing.
What a world! I find Chef John's voice to be endearing and not intimidating. It's like your favorite uncle teaching you. My first recipe and win from Chef John was a Dutch Baby. ;)
I was just literally thinking bout this.
Dutch baby was classic! Chef John is my go to when I need a smile and some inspiration. Never fails 🤗
I still need to make that Dutch Baby recipe .... looks so good.
@@ThisisRabi what's a Dutch baby.
"I get asked, what do you need for a beautiful dutch baby? Not necessarily a handsome Dutch gentleman." Lmao
"feel free to keep that to yourself. Cause I like how this one comes out" lmao! I love you, Chef John!
I can’t wait to make this. I made the Salisbury steak this evening. My neighbors (two 29 yr old bachelors and their gf’s) they absolutely loved it. You make baking and cooking so much fun and so easy. Love your sense of humor 😂
I love how much personality this chef has
As a person of middle eastern descent, I've made this since I was knee
high to a grasshopper. A couple of tips: don't add the syrup to hot
baklava - it will make the bottom soggy and chewy (unless that's what
you want); Second tip: Use a glass baking dish so you don't have to
guess the color of the bottom layers.
My grandmother used to say, "This is too pretty to eat." LOL ....
My sister-in-law makes this with rose water instead of the orange/citrus water. Still very delicious!
I grew up on this stuff. Mom always made homemade phyllo dough. It really is delicious and it truly was a labor of love to make. Thanx mom 💕
I'm mostly Irish and Swedish in my heritage but my mom worked for a restaurant that made Baklava regularly. She became very familiar with the recipe so I grew up with this treat around the holidays. Since it's a Greek and Turkish dish I consider myself lucky that did have it my youth. Because it really is an amazing bite of food that should be on everyone's bucket list.
Remember, people: You are the Frank Sinatra of your baklava !
Spaceship bit of a stretch but ok.
If he makes it here we can make it anywhere
Spaceship
I did it my way.
@@terrypeart3875 😂
You talk in an odd rhythm
I like it .
He reminds me of garfield.
It's like, his talk cadences are weird.
AtlaylaCP ctfu thought I was the only person who thought this
The inflections are so off it seems foreign! It oddly reminds me of Yoda though, so that's cool.
I love the narrator and the script and
“If you feel you have a much better way, feel free to keep that to yourself.”
Thank an' a hat tip...wonderful presentation! Baklava is one of my all time favourite desserts since I was a young boy. My sister made it. Filo dough is much more available in stores than it was 50 years ago so making this at home is so much easier now. Rolling dough out on a marble slab with a marble rolling pin is more than I want to do!
Oh my god thank you!!! I have had this food very rarely over the past years and i have never known what it is called!!! Im making it tonight... on a weekday at midnight
This was amazing. Indian here and I made it for my Bulgarian friend's birthday and came out perfectly. The filo cooked a lot faster so I had to reduce the temperature but the flavour of the syrup was on point and overall very delicious.
Got over in less than 2 days. Thanks a lot Chef John.
Chef! First, thanks for the great recipe video. I've always thought of baklava as one of those too-delicious-to-be-made-by-me recipes.
Second, I didn't wait the five minutes after pulling it out of the oven, and the reaction of the syrup being poured over the super-hot pastry was phenomenal! I guarantee you'll get far more accolades from friends and family with that show than by waiting the five minutes. The baklava was still amazingly delicious.
Again, thanks!
This looks awesome. My aunt used to make it like this and the only differences were that she spread the butter over the filo layers with her fingers, and when making the syrup after the cloves she'd add a little lemon zest. I'm going to try this one. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
That level of crispy DESERVED a rake of fork tongs!!
I didn't want to wreck the perfect top! ;)
Food Wishes You can wreck my perfect top
he is the King Kong of his fork tongs.
I'll just have to go re-watch your onion rings video and imagine the glory that could've been :)
Just wanted to say thank you for your great videos (and sense of humor) Chef John.
Baklava always reminds me of Mom. For a Norwegian raised on a Wisconsin dairy farm, she was definitely the “exotic” one in the family. My cousins always like coming to our house to see what Aunt Diann was going to cook. I didn’t really get that until I was older. I miss her.
I believe of all the non-Turkish baklava videos, yours is the most visually authentic one chef! Nice as always.
"We do not under any circumstances want a soggy bottom" 😂😂😂
hahaaaaa...me too I laughed
I read your comment just as soon as I heard him say that. The timing....😂😂
uhm im pretty sure the bad puns are the sole reason why atleast 40% of us are here, no??
Oh heck yeah! I watch these vids while munching on a Big Mac!
Last of Brunnen G hahaha so true
Last of Brunnen G Yes. And, also, Lexx!!
Yup. And of course the recipes.
My grandma used to make this when I was little ♥ So happy to have found the recipe
I love how you put the emphasis on the LAST syllable. It's almost like French but NOT quite. I feel myself getting ready for THE emphasis. You've stumbled onto SOMETHING hypnotic.
I remember my first taste of authentic Baklava 40 years ago as a teenager. I had no idea that I was in for the purest, most sensational, delectable treat the world has ever known. It seemed to intimidating to bake myself. Chef John just gave me courage to try!
'One of the greatest bites of food in the world' ... Hear, hear; trouble is, I can never stop at just one piece ! Thanks for the two videos.
Thank you again not only for the Filo dough, but the baklava!!! I haven’t done this in years so thank you for showing it to other people!!! ❤️🌈🇵🇱👩🍳🇺🇸
I had the good fortune of being able to visit Cyprus this past year, and I was able to try some Cypriot-style Baklava, and my goodness it was absolutely perfect. Just a beautiful, delicious, wonderful bite. And all from this humble little street side wagon with a kind old lady selling them for cheap.
Chef John, you are so much better than most other food youtubers on the internet. Thank you for not being fake!
omg the rise and fall in your voice kills me lmao but i love your recipes
Theophilia Hanson thank god i wasnt the only one!
Theophilia Hanson Same here! I come here to watch tasty looking food be cooked and end up either turning the volume all the way down or just turning it off as soon as I start hearing his insane fluctuation in his voice
I'm a voice actor/voice over artist... this video is killing me :(
dear jesus, I had to turn off the volume and just watch.
JJ Mars liar
I am looking forward to making this. Baklava is my favorite. I have always been a bit intimidated by it, but no more! Thank you for sharing how to make this!
I made this following your instructions , and I have to say it's worth the effort !!. It was soooo good!
you do know we love your puns :-)
You are the Mario Bava of your baklava.
Turn around Chef John...I wanna see your puns...
nice one
Thanks for giving me the idea :-)
your welcome :-)
“Feel free to keep that to yourself” LMAOOOO
꧁Long Legs꧂ Chef John is a funny guy!
Coming from the south of France, I was not expecting orange blossom water to be the not well known ingredient 😄
Chef John, you're my hero, I love baklavas and now I can make them!
this mans voice is so calming i love this channel
The man is creating fantastic content, and seriously upping anyone's food game who is willing to try, and yet people trying to cast shade because they don't like the way he talks. SMH.
This is why we can't have nice things. Too many who can't, trying to tear down those who can.
Keep up the great work, Chef!!! I love your videos ❤️
Amen!!👏👏
Exactly. Like the man said, if you don’t like the peaches, don’t shake the tree.
I LOVE the way he talks and I’ve tried many of his recipes....I haven’t had a flop yet! He’s the BEST!
Also, like... just turn off the sound and turn on CC if it's that irritating lmao. This man really went out and made phyllo dough from scratch, so I will continue to support his videos.
Chef John, you're by far my favorite Chef on TH-cam. About the Baklava, as an Arabic person I say you nailed it. not quite like my mother's, but pretty close. :) much love from Algeria.
Baklava is Greek
fahd s baklava knows many variations, in many different countries.
Oh boy here we go
fahd s It started somewhere in Turkey of Armenia, but with the emergence of the Greek empire it spread west and throughout the Middle East.
Annabelle The Alpaca it was ottoman and was spread by the Ottoman Empire
Bless you for making this recipe with orange blossom water! That stuff smells and tastes amazing!
Baklava is one of the best desserts in the world. For my taste buds and texture preferences, it's absolutely the perfect dessrt imo. I love cinnamon, I love nuts and I adore pastry. Fantastic combo. I salute the original baklava creators lol
Please make Fluffy Japanese Cheesecake!
I don't even know what this is and I still want you to make it!
madokaism 木之本 Baumkuchen is a layered cake, not a cheesecake :)
I made it. As Sam LSD said, it's very, hm...it's alright, nice. Bland. It isn't very much like actual "cheesecake" at all. If you like Sara Lee pound cake from the store, I imagine you'll like fluffy Japanese cheese cake. I'd be perfectly comfortable feeding it to a baby.
Sam LSD
It really is overrated, To me it tastes like Egg cake because all I can really taste is the egg.
I made it for several occasions, and I beg to differ! If you use Cooking with Dog's recipe, the cake will definitely come out to be one of the loveliest desserts you have ever tasted.
Thank ypu soo much Chef John. Thank you for putting up with me and all my harrasment.
I hope that you've finally found peace. xD
Your name is vaguely familiar.
Sebastian Michelis I had been rooting for you, my dude
Thank you Sebastian!
I hope you make some!
Wow, thank you so much for this recipe, I thought I would never be able to make baklava but I think I can now following your steps!!💙
I remember my grandmother making this with 200 layers, so so good. As a kid I would help clean the nuts with a hammer.
Baklava! Woooot! Yeah! Right on! I'm SO happy right now! I'm so happy!
Lucky Jester well did you make it?
I was just going to ask if op made it. With all that running around, you'd think so. XD
No he was too busy running around ام مقداد
Just today my sister picked this up at a store. I said one day I want to make the phyllo dough and the baklava. So here I am in NY at 12:38 am looking at your videos. Easter for my family is in 2 weeks. I might just try it. I dislike store phyllo due to the use of palm oil. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks for being so fun to listen to.
This is the best video I have watched so far on how to make baklava, thank you!

I actually hate it. The up and down modulation makes it almost unwatchable - and I love his cooking.
i agree he just starts of really high then goes down and stops and then goes really high again but its not gradual it just one massive jump which makes it extremely difficult to watch but i need to watch it because his videos are really useful
A Lebanese Jewish family I knew growing up in the 70's used ROSE Water in the syrup. I don't know how traditional or not that is but it tasted absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS! Thanks for all your magical recipes.
I can onlymspeak for myself, but, I love your bad puns and vague references!😍
This goes perfectly with Arabic coffee 👌🏽👌🏽😍
OMG you voice tempo is insane. Like running up and down a hill
That's what makes it hilarious😂😂😂
haha
It’s called up-speak
I gave your recipe a try and the baklava turned out very delicious. Right amount of sweetness and nutty flavor. It looks like a complicated dessert but you broke it down in easy steps. Thank you for sharing!
What a sweety, lovely instructions an he sounds so happy and gentle
I really like his voice.
It's full of joy and kindness and everything beautiful... It's like a baklava in voice form
It is that wicked baklava. It does something to his voice😕👻💙
I always see these yummy treats on sale during the Saturday morning markets. I will need to try some soon.
Your cadence is so strange but compelling at the same time. I love you. 💕
Oh man, Chef John! For once I made one of your recipes and it actually turned out exactly like the photo. Taste/texture was excellent. I used store-bough phyllo dough and I subbed 5-6 drops of orange oil for the blossom water. At first when I tasted the syrup, I was worried that the orange flavor was too strong. But after the syrup-soaked baklava had cooled for a few hours, it was the EXACT right amount. Just as you described: not enough to know that it's there, but you'd know if it was missing. I was feeling a bit rebellious, so I tried brushing the butter instead if drizzling. I guess I got lucky; my dough held up fine, so I was able to get maximum butter coverage. I might add just a half pinch more cinnamon next time, and possibly boost the two middle layers up to 4 sheets instead of 2, but honestly, it was still excellent just as is. Thanks for helping me and the wifey have a lovely dessert after dinner.
In Balkan ( Bosnia, Serbia,Hercegovina,Montenegro,Croatia) we use only walnuts, but I belive that Turkey, where recipe originated, they use only pistachios
some regions in turkey use walnuts i even saw they use sesame seeds
hah I didn t know dat, pretty cool

Ma di ovo nije videlo pravu baklavu....debele mu kore ,stavlja pistace ....izmenio je skroz
pistace su u orginalnom receptu
