Hey everyone, I hope you’re having an incredible day today. Today, I’m gonna show you how to prepare a distinctive dish, baklava. One of my favorites. This time, I’m gonna make it a little bit unique. This will be really delicious.

Baklava is one of the most well liked of current trending foods in the world. It is easy, it is fast, it tastes delicious. It’s enjoyed by millions every day. They’re fine and they look wonderful. Baklava is something that I have loved my whole life.

CUT the baklava after assembly and before cooking, and top with butter to make everything smooth and "pretty". Put the cooled sauce on as soon as you pull the baklava out of the oven. It tastes like the baklava I buy in the Greek stores downtown and a LOT cheaper per piece.

My family enjoys baklava—a traditional walnut strudel. The recipe uses phyllo dough, which is not difficult to work with. Just have your ingredients ready to go and follow the directions on the package. The results are scrumptious and well worth the effort.
