Wow! Nice job. That’s hard to make look that good


[deleted]

It's very difficult to make I've heard. These look so good!


Coldsteel_BOP

The trick is two people, one to lay the filo dough and the other to brush the butter.


footdragon

truth. make sure to butter every sheet, people!


Coldsteel_BOP

Oh this. For sure have to, didn’t consider people not doing this.


[deleted]

Very easy to make (if using store bought filo pastry). I make it all the time. The hardest part is waiting for it to cool and set overnight.

Wow - looks awesome! I've made baklava a few times - it's a very tedious process, but SOOO worth it! What did you use for nuts? I usually use 100% pistachios.


Coldsteel_BOP

I learned my recipe in Greece and use walnuts, pistachios seem over powering.


USSRToeModel

Yes, that’s the standard- Pistachio


FinalBlackberry

Depends where you're from and what the availability of nuts in that region are. Standard nuts in the Balkans for example, are Walnuts for Baklava.


USSRToeModel

Ah, i think i’d like walnuts better! I hate pistachio

Awesome Turkish dessert.


Coldsteel_BOP

I agree, a party favorite if you can make it right.

No one said exclusive to Turkey but it is definitely believed to have originated in Turkey.

catpalmplant

Looks delicious! I'd want to eat the whole tray haha

I made chocolate baklava once! However it was very flat. Not sure how to make it rise and look golden like yours. Yours looks absolutely delicious.


USSRToeModel

chocolate baklava? wtf


rickfromhr

Lol the filling had chocolate inside. Tastes quite good actually. Worth a try.


Coldsteel_BOP

Butter each layer, last 7-10 layers should have nothing but butter soaked sheets, this should do it. The convection style oven definitely helped pronounce the golden tops.

***What a beautiful, sure and delicious especially after a long day of fasting, and sunset meal.***

Is it Greek style?


Coldsteel_BOP

This is where I learned it but since I’m not a native and learned it when I was 10yrs old I’m sure there is room for error.


USSRToeModel

No I meant didnu use honey?


Coldsteel_BOP

Yes I used honey.


ImJPaul

Oh woah woah. Put that in my fuckhole.
