Greek Baklava Recipe

Greek Baklava

Greek baklava is a traditional dessert made with phyllo dough, nuts, and honey syrup. It is a popular dessert in Greece and throughout the Middle East.

To make Greek baklava, you will need the following ingredients:

• 25-30 sheets of phyllo dough
• 500g (17 oz.) walnuts, chopped
• 2 tsps cinnamon powder
• 2 tsps ground cloves
• 300g (10 oz.) melted butter

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the walnuts, cinnamon, and cloves.
4. Place 10 sheets of phyllo dough in the prepared baking dish, brushing each sheet with melted butter.
5. Sprinkle half of the nut mixture over the phyllo dough.
6. Repeat layers of phyllo dough, butter, and nut mixture, ending with a layer of phyllo dough brushed with butter.
7. Use a sharp knife to cut the baklava into diamonds or squares.
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
9. While the baklava is baking, make the honey syrup. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of honey. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved.
10. Remove the baklava from the oven and pour the honey syrup over the top.
11. Let the baklava cool completely before serving.

Tips:

• If you don't have phyllo dough, you can use puff pastry.
• You can use any type of nuts you like in the baklava.
• If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking dish, you can use a larger or smaller dish, but adjust the baking time accordingly.
• The honey syrup can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
• Baklava is best served at room temperature.

Enjoy!
