Ingredients
- 18 sheets phyllo dough 9x14 in size
- 2 cups walnuts or optional other nuts
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup melted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup honey
- Melted chocolate optional, for garnish
- chopped walnuts optional, for garnish
Instructions
- In a food processor, chop the walnuts into tiny pieces.
- Place the chopped walnuts in a bowl and toss with powdered sugar and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, melt the butter.
- Lay out one phyllo sheet at the time, then brush it with melted butter until you have a total of three stacked buttered sheets.
- Spread 1/3 cup of the nut mixture evenly onto the stack of buttered sheets. Roll the sheet up (from the short edge) into a tight roll and set it in a 9x13 baking dish. Repeat the process until you run out of ingredients (you should have 6 rolls in all).
- Brush the rolled baklava with melted butter. Bake it at 375°F for 25 minutes.
- In a small pot, combine the sugar and water and cook it on low heat for about 10 minutes. Add the honey and stir until it's melted.
- Pour the mixture over the hot rolled baklava and allow the baklava to rest for at least 3 hours. Slice the baklava rolls into your preferred size, and then garnish with melted chocolate and chopped walnuts before serving, if desired! Enjoy!
