Servings: 12-16
Difficulty: Medium
Prep time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 25-30 minutes
For the syrup/şerbet
450 g sugar (2 cups + 2 tbsp)
340 ml water (1,5 cups)
Lemon
For the baklava
200 g butter
25 sheets of phyllo dough
200 g pistachio, roughly chopped
Ice cream, optional for serving
• Preheat the oven to 170 degrees (340F) on upper and lower heat without fan.
• Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to boil over medium-high heat stirring until sugar dissolves. Make sure that the sugar melts completely before water starts to boil. Otherwise, sugar might be crystallized after syrup cools down.
• When it boils, lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 10-11 minutes.
• The syrup is ready, add a few drops of lemon and set aside to cool at room temperature.
• To make the baklava, melt the butter on low heat in a saucepan without stirring to have clarified butter. After butter melted, remove from heat, and take out the foam that is formed on top of the butter. This is the milk part of the butter which will reduce the crunchiness of baklava and will get caramelized in the oven and leave small brown dots.
• Then slowly pour the clear butter in a small bowl and leave the milk part in the saucepan if there is any.
• Before starting it is better to sharpen your knife because you are going to need a sharp knife to cut the baklava.
• Place a phyllo sheet on your work surface and trim the phyllo according to your round tray’s bottom (around 30 cm/ 12 in). Cut the trimmed pieces into small pieces.
• Butter your tray and place three round shaped sheets and brush with the butter.
• After three round shaped layers place the scraps as three layers and butter again.
• Then continue with one round shaped sheet and 2 layers of scraps and butter.
• After using 10 of round shaped sheets, it is time for pistachio!
• Place the pistachios on top of the sheets and leave some space from the edges.
• Then continue layering the sheets with the same order. For the top part make sure that you are using more round shaped sheets to make baklava more beautiful (that is why we used more scraps than round ones for the bottom part).
• After all phyllo dough is finished tuck the layers with the back of a knife or a wooden knife.
• Using a sharp knife, cut the baklava into 12 slices like you are cutting pizza.
• After cutting, squeeze the slices from the sides with two fingers to give the perfect baklava shape.
• Brush all the remaining butter on top of the baklava, especially the edges and centre.
• Bake for about 25-30 minutes in total. First, place the baklava on the middle rack of your oven for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to the bottom of the oven for 8 minutes. Finally, again the middle rack until it is golden.
• Take out from the oven and pour over the syrup.
• Let it cool down and soak all the syrup about one hour at room temperature.
• It is ready to eat and enjoy and try at least one slice with ice cream. Bon a petit or afiyet olsun as we say in Turkish.

Hi Refika. Just had a really cool experience that I want to share with you. I am on holiday in the Seychelles with my husband and we met three other couples on the beach who we had lunch with today. The table included Turkish, French, German, Swiss, and American citizens. I mentioned to the Turkish lady how much I enjoy watching your shows on TH-cam. She loves them as well and the German lady also watches your videos. Thought you would appreciate that your videos were being discussed and appreciated in such an international fashion. So nice that we all have you in common. Thanks for continuing to put out high quality content where your enthusiasm shines through. Looking forward to more great videos!
Wow! I am beyond flattered... Thank you for telling me and thanks for watching ❤️
@@Refika hi refika..it seems that u just drizzle the butter on pastry..rather than brushing it..am i correct.
And I live in the Seychelles and I watch her videos
OMG I'm drooling all over the place!! Love this!!! ❤
G’day from Queensland, Australia!
I was adopted into a Lebanese family. Thank God for that. I grew up eating Baklava, Rolled grape leaves, kibbi, tabouli, stuffed squash. ....my family/cousins still make all the favorite dishes. When other kids in my school brought peanut butter and jelly or balogna sandwiches to school, I brought kibbi and grape leaves! lol
Horseshit
Thank you for sharing your recipes I enjoy watching your demo Iam watching from Vienna good luck and hope to see more and learn more from you❤️
Important Tip: Phyllo dough has different thicknesses ranging from #4 (thinnest) to a #10 (thickest). Use #4 for baklava.
Thankyou E.
In Canada they only sell one size
1st, Refika, I don't know anything of when you were thinner but today, you are far better looking than Jackie Kennedy was
2nd, "Serbet" is a genuinely Turkish word existing in the Greek language too meaning "Extremely sweet sirope" or "Extremely sweet substance"
3rd, "Fyllo" is a genuinely Greek word existing in the Turkish language too which in Greek means "Plant leaf" which is usualy thin in most of plants; that's why the thin layers of the fyllo are called like that and finally
4th but not least, I LOVE BAKLAVA!!!
THERE'S NO WAY TO THANK YOU REFIKA FOR SHARING THIS RECIPE!!!!!!!!
I think fyllo is different than yufka. Over here, we use yufka mostly but there are also recipes that use fyllo, but I must admit I'm not a fan of it.
She calls it fyllo so it is easier to understand for foreigners we call it yufka in Turkish:)
I feel like we could be best friends, cooking, eating, and I love learning everything you have to teach!!
Angela ❤️😍 such a lovely thing to say
@@Refika just the truth, I just wanted you to know how much we love you over here in Canada!
In India, Ghee-the clarified butter is major ingredient in the preparation of sweets, you can even add a spoonful of ghee with hot rice,and mix well. It is a yummy comfort food with potato fry
Agree. Same in Pakistan. My Grandmother used to make butter from fresh milk and then Ghee from that butter. It is really good and organic :)

Here in germany you can buy baklava mostly where you find other turkish dishes like Döner or Dürüm. But they are normally very costly, almost 2€ for a mouthfull. But if it would be cheap and tasty like yours, I would probably only roll along the streets with a stomach so large it will block the bosporus. Greetz and stay well. You are amazing.👍
I feel like crying.In Greece we make baklava with walnuts or a mix with almonds but it can (Never!) be compared with pistachio baklava.I love everything pistachio and pistachio baklava is one of my all time favourite desserts.Thank you for this recipe Refika and your team.
most of Greeks come and visit İstanbul. so may be you can come to istanbul and eat Baklava with Pistachio. the famous trademark is GÜLLÜOĞLU. dont forget the name. it is located in karaköy in istanbul (karaköy is located under the Galata Tower)
@@lunarbike Of course we visit Istanbul.It’s a favourite travel destination of ours.Many friends and family members have already visited and it’s a dream of mine to come one day.I already check the brand you suggested.Tesekkürler my friend.🤍
Turkish people make baklava with walnuts also, there are many different ways that it's made in Turkey, which I am sure is the same in Greece as we pretty much eat the same food.
@@Ebuje1 Yes we do share the same food indeed.Here you can find pistachio baklava but not in every pastry shop.It’s not that common.In Athens there are many places that are making politico baklava as we call it.Which means from the town (We refer to Istanbul as the town).And yes we do have many different types of baklava as well but the Turkish ones are on another lever.
@@IOANNA333 I see, I live in Australia so I am not familiar with the type of baklava sold overseas only the type of baklava that is common with Turkish culture. 🙂 when I visited Izmir last they sold mostly the walnut baklava but I must admit it has been many years.
OMG, my favorite dessert. New York has wonderful baklava but to have it in a place where the tradition began, it must be amazing. Also having it warm with ice cream looks unbelievable.
In Paterson,NJ they put turkish ice cream inside the baklavas or on top of künefe..it's amazing but still not comparable like the ones in Turkey.. I think New York has also turkish ice cream with baklava..
What's your favorite place in NYC for baklava?
I love the way this lady presents the dish after her very eloquent cooking and explanation. She is so full of fun.
Refika, you are such a talented woman inspiring people around you in a good way. And that baklava looks very delicious 😋
Very nice 👍🏼 zabardast good recipe

感谢您的支持
Go Rafika...so proud of you ...as a women, as muslim, and as middle east person❤❤
Those pistachios look so amazing and fresh
Looks delicious 😋 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
Thank you my dear for putting this up. Many years ago I had befriended our little corner market owner, ( in a round about way, that's another story). His wife made baklava, hers was the first I had ever had, I fell in love with it. I have tasted some others through the years only to be disappointed, hers had spoiled me. I will have to make this one and your dry one to see which may come closest to hers. If I remember I think she used pecans. Anyway I can't wait to try this. Have a great day.
I love the recipes. I love Refika's presentation. I love the spirit of this team together! But what always amazes me is the production. Perfect pacing. Great transitions. Adorable jokes. But it never takes away from following the recipe. Nobody on TH-cam does it better.
Thank you so much! It feels amazing when the little details are noticed and appreciated... 🙏
I totally agree. GREAT PRODUCTION.
I love how joyful you all are!
Bahar's face says it all. That looks amazing. I will make it for the holidays.

Oh! Thank you Refika! I love Baklava, I can get it at a local Kebab shop - called Istanbul Kebab! They make it fresh every day - and it's soooo good! I've always been a bit scared of using phyllo pastry - I use and make puff and short pastries all the time, so don't know why I have a fear of phyllo! I'm going to feel the fear and do it anyway! I really want to make Baklava!!! Big hugs from New Zealand xx
Ohh MY mouth is watering to try this Recipe😋thank you.🌹🌹😍
