Making this one is a bit time consuming. Baklava is a sweet pastry made from layers of phyllo dough filled with chopped nuts and is sweetened by syrup or honey. It is really popular for Middle Eastern countries. This recipe is not for first time bakers. But, if you will just follow the steps written below then it could be easier for you.
Making it requires you to have a packet or 375 grams filo dough, 180 grams butter which is melted and cooled, and about two teaspoons water. It also requires you to have 150 grams walnuts, 150 grams unsalted pistachios, 55 grams or one fourth cup caster sugar, and a teaspoon of ground cinnamon for filling. For honey syrup, prepare 375 grams jar of honey, 165g or approximately three fourth cup sugar, 250ml water, and lemon with the rind finely grated and juiced.
To begin, you must preheat the oven for about 180 degrees Celsius. Begin preparing its filling first. The first step for that is to spread walnuts on baking tray. Using the oven, lightly toast in there for 5 to 8 minutes or until the aroma can be smelled. After it, you should let it cool. Combine all the walnuts, the pistachios, the sugar and the cinnamon in a bowl. You should be placing it on a food processor. Have that processed until finely chopped as you press the pulse button in the processor.
Remove phyllo dough from the packet afterward. Lie flat on a table. Cover that with dry tea towel and a tea towel which is damp. You should be doing that because it would help to keep your dough from being dry while you would make it.
Next, you should be preparing 18 by 28 centimeters shallow cake tin. Brush its inside part generously with butter. Grab one thirds of the filo. Brush some butter on the top sheet and fold that thrice until you make a rectangle in the size of your tin. Place it on your tin then brush butter on the surface.
Next, you have to continue the layering process using one third of the dough that was left. Take the nuts for filling and spread half of it to the phyllo to cover it. Then, layer half of the sheets just like the previous step. Spread the remaining nuts over it and then top it with the remaining sheets. Brush the top layer with the remaining butter.
Get a sharp knife and cut diamond patterns on the topmost layer. Sprinkle it with water after that. Bake for about 30 minutes. Cover with foil then cook it for 45 minutes longer.
While you are waiting, begin preparing honey syrup. Combine all of the honey, sugar and water, and lemon rind and its juice in the saucepan. Stir over heat until you all the sugar got dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium heat for about ten minutes. Have it removed from heat and allow to cool. Remove cooked one from your oven and pour syrup. Evenly spread it and allow to cool.
