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.
You would need one packet or about 375g of phyllo dough, 180g butter that is melted and cooled, and 2 teaspoons of water. For its filling, you will be needing 150g walnuts, 150g unsalted pistachios, 55g or about one fourth cup caster sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. For the honey syrup, make sure you have 375g jar of honey, 165g or about three fourth cup sugar, 250ml water, and 1 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.
Prepare 18 by 28cm cake tin that is shallow. Brush the inside part with butter. Get one third of phyllo. Brush its top sheet with some butter then fold that into thirds to make one rectangle in the size of that tin. Place it on that tin and then brush the surface with some butter.
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.
Using a sharp knife, cut some diamond patterns on the top layer. After you have done that, sprinkle some water on it. Bake for at least 30 minutes. Cover that with foil and cook it more for 45 minutes.
While waiting for that, you should be making its honey syrup. Combine the honey, sugar, water and the lemon rind and juice on a saucepan. Stir it over heat until the sugar is dissolved. Bring that to a boil on medium heat for about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool that down. Remove ones cooked in the oven then pour its syrup. Spread evenly and cool that down.
This is better when you served it together with coffee. You may also top it with whipped cream. Numerous people have been addicted to this mouth watering delicacy. Serve it to your guests too.
