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.
One would be needing a packet or 375g phyllo dough, about 180g melted and cooled butter, and 2tsp of water. For the filling, one would need about 150g of walnuts, 150g pistachios that are unsalted, 55g or one fourth cup of caster sugar, and 1tsp ground cinnamon. For its honey syrup, you should have 375g jar honey, 165g or three fourth cup of sugar, 250ml water and one lemon with rind grated finely and juiced.
First, you have to preheat your oven for 180 degrees C. Make the filling first. You should be spreading the walnuts on your baking tray. Lightly toast it on the oven for about five to eight minutes until its aroma could be smelled. After toasting, cool that down. Next, you should combine walnuts, pistachio, sugar and the cinnamon on a bowl. Place it on your food processor. You should process that until they are chopped finely while pressing that pulse button on 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.
You should continue with the layering process with the one third of that dough that is left. Take the crushed nuts for the filling and spread half of that on the phyllo to have it covered. Then, layer half of those sheets like you did in the previous steps. Spread all of the nuts left on that then top that with all the sheets remaining. Brush its top layer with some 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 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.
That is best when served with coffee. Add some whipped cream too. There are many people who are addicted to this dessert which is really delicious. Try to make one for your guests.
