👨🍳 Instrukcje
- 1
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Ensure the pan is evenly greased to prevent sticking. - 2
In a bowl, combine chopped walnuts, 200g sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Mix well.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the nut mixture. - 3
Lay one sheet of filo dough in the prepared pan. Brush generously with melted butter. Repeat with 7-8 more sheets, buttering each layer.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Work quickly to prevent filo from drying out. Cover unused filo with a damp cloth. - 4
Spread half of the walnut mixture evenly over the buttered filo layers.
- 5
Layer another 7-8 sheets of filo dough on top of the walnuts, buttering each sheet.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Ensure the top layers are well-buttered for a crisp finish. - 6
Spread the remaining walnut mixture over the filo layers.
- 7
Top with the remaining filo dough sheets, buttering each layer thoroughly. Trim excess filo from the edges.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: The more butter, the crispier the baklava will be. - 8
Using a sharp knife, score the baklava into diamond or square shapes, cutting all the way through to the bottom layer.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Scoring before baking ensures clean cuts later. - 9
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even browning. - 10
While the baklava bakes, prepare the syrup: Combine 500g sugar, water, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Do not over-boil the syrup, as it can become too hard. - 11
Once the baklava is out of the oven, immediately pour the hot syrup evenly over the hot baklava.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Pouring hot syrup over hot baklava creates the characteristic crispness. - 12
Let the baklava cool completely for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Allowing it to rest lets the syrup fully absorb.
