Tips In Cooking The Best Baklava Online

By Leticia Jensen


People who love to eat are usually called a gastronome. They are the ones who believe that eating is an activity that is meant more than for survival. A gastronome is someone who believes that eating can be a source of pleasure too. One of the dishes that make their mouth water is the baklava, a dish made out of phyllo dough, vanilla extracts, nuts, white sugar, and honey.

First of all, they have to pay attention to their phyllo dough. This is the kind of dough that they will usually need to buy from the refrigerated section of their grocery store. The phyllo dough is known to dry out very quickly. If they have any that they are not currently using for their recipe on baklava online, they have to keep it wrapped with a damp towel.

The phyllo dough should always be handled with care. Not just because it dries out easily, it is also very fragile. They have to work things out quickly when they are making the said dish. They need to be careful as well when they do not want to rip it too. Let the moisture remain in the dough so that it can hold together.

When making the dish, melted butter is a necessity. One should make sure to brush a generous amount of the melted butter into the dough. The melted butter should be spread evenly and lightly. To make the butter easier to apply, one should use a pastry brush. One can even avoid tearing the dough with it.

After the dish has been layered into the baking dish and is now ready to bake, the person should then slice it up before placing it into the oven. When the dish has been cooked, the phyllo dough will then become crunchy. In that case, it will definitely crumble if one tries to slice it up after it has been baked.

The dish should be sprinkled with nuts too. The nuts are the best ingredients that can be added to the dish. It is a good thing that there are a number of edible nuts that people can add to pastries nowadays. Examples of the nuts that can be used for this dish are walnuts, almonds, and pistachios.

The nuts are not the only addition that can give a unique taste to the dish. It is important to have some spices into it too. Just like with the nuts, one should add variety to the spice. Try out some cloves, cinnamon, and cardamom or a mix of them. The person will surely end up with a perfect spice blend after experimenting.

One should work on making this dish quickly. This is so that the person does not lose the moisture of the phyllo dough easily. Make the layers of nuts and phyllo fast. Do it with care too. Prepare the ingredients beforehand to be able to finish the layering phase quickly.

The dish is usually baked in large batches. Even if this is the case, one should not feel pressured to finish eating everything all at once. If there are some leftovers, let it cool completely then wrap it carefully. The person can then pop the wrapped dish into the freezer, making it possible for later enjoyment.
