What is "baklava"?
Baklava is a sweet and rich pastry that is popular in many countries throughout the Middle East and Mediterranean region. It is made from layers of phyllo dough that are filled with chopped nuts, such as pistachios, walnuts, or almonds, and then soaked in a sweet syrup made from honey or sugar. The phyllo dough is brushed with butter or oil between each layer to create a flaky and crispy texture. The nuts used in baklava can be flavored with spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, or cloves, and the pastry is often finished with a sprinkling of chopped nuts or a dusting of powdered sugar. Baklava is a delicious and indulgent dessert that is perfect for special occasions or as a sweet treat after a meal.
