  • Baklava Recipe
    INGREIDENTS
    ¾ cup ghee, melted, plus more for brushing
    1 pound box of phyllo 9”x14” sheets, room temperature
    3 cups pistachios, finely chopped
    ½ cup granulated sugar
    For the Simple Syrup
    1 cup granulated sugar
    ¾ cup water
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1 tablespoon orange blossom water
    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan with ghee.
    2. Unroll the two sleeves of phyllo sheets and cut off an inch at the end to make them fit into the 9 x 13 pan.
    3. In a large bowl, stir together the pistachios and granulated sugar until well combined.
    4. Lay one stack of 20 phyllo sheets in the prepared pan. Add about 10 more phyllo sheets on top of the first stack from the second sleeve. Spread the nuts mixture over the phyllo in one even layer. Lay the remaining phyllo sheets over the nuts.
    5. Pour the melted ghee over the baklava and tilt the pan carefully to spread the ghee all over. Cut the baklava into diamonds by making 5 cuts lengthwise and 9 cuts crosswise on the diagonal.
    6. Bake until golden brown all the way into the cut lines, about 45-50 minutes, rotating the baklava halfway through baking.
    7. Meanwhile, make the simple syrup by combining the water, sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is thickened but still clear colored, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat, add the orange blossom water, and set aside to cool.
    8. When the baklava is done cooking, remove the pan from the oven and immediately pour the cooled simple syrup evenly over the baklava. Allow to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving.

    The individual buttering of each layer of pastry creates a seperate air pocket between each layer. That's what makes baklava light and crunchy instead of soggy and dense.

      Exactly. I'm American, and I love how people embrace the cultures and cuisines of others. I even like when people make their own personal renditions because gatekeeping foor is trash. HOWEVER do not teach a hack of another person's cultural cuisine and try to say that it's the same or better. Just call it the lazy way without an equal comparison because it will never be the same, regardless of what it is. We should still be humble when exploring the culture of others.

    As a turkish person, I can say that a person that has tried baklava before will know this will taste different. Im not saying its bad, its just never has the same crispyness as real baklava. However I can advise you to try making 'sütlü soğuk baklava' its a different kind of baklava and is easier to make.

This method is definitely a big plus for someone making quick baklava, but I really don’t see that it would make a massive difference in the taste.

    I bake baklava myself from scratch because it's much cheaper and will taste more like love in the end! Baklava is not made like this. When you make the dough you make over 30 thin as paper layers each layer is covered with butter and then stacked so that there will be o ly 5 layers in the end. I use nuts and in the end when everything is assembled is when you cover it with 500gr of melted butter. You put it in the oven for more than 2 hours and afterwards you cover it with sugar water. I'm using the albanian recipe. My family used to tell me that baking baklava from scratch is too difficult a d takes too long to make but honestly if you do it correctly and get the hang if it- it usually takes me out 3 hours (without the baking time).

I rarely get to have it because so far that food truck is the only place I haven’t found that serves it And I was only in Portland visiting my dad’s family. I live in California, And I’m not a major city like LA so I have had no luck founding any baklava near me.

      bc it is better that way. she is not making real baklava and she shouldn’t pretend she is

    To make it even tastier and aromatic in flavor you have to put some ground cinnamon and ground cloves in the sugar and pistachio Just a bit
    Thats a true greek baklava

    I would recommend using honey and water instead of simple syrup, because honey gives it a little bit of a specific taste. But otherwise, I think this method definitely thumbs up.
