Hi, sweet tooth friends! I'm looking to create my own baklava but need a little help with the ingredients. What goes into making this sweet masterpiece? Any tips?

Hey there!

Baklava is such a treat! Here’s a basic ingredient list for you:

• Phyllo dough
• Chopped nuts (usually walnuts, pistachios, or almonds)
• Butter
• Sugar
• Honey
• Cinnamon and other spices (optional)

You’ll layer the phyllo dough with butter and nuts, then bake it. Once it’s done, you pour a syrup made of sugar, honey, and water over it. Pro tip: let it sit overnight to soak up all the syrup! Enjoy making your baklava!

Hey there! Baklava's got a whole lot of goodness packed in! It's typically made with layers of phyllo dough, nuts (often pistachios or walnuts), and a sweet syrup made from sugar, honey, and lemon. Simple ingredients, but oh-so-delicious!
