How to Make the Best Baklava? | The Ultimate Baklava Recipe with Kral Gıda
Ingredients:
- 1 pack of Kral Gıda baklava phyllo dough
- 300 grams of butter (preferably unsalted)
- 2 cups of crushed walnuts or Antep pistachios
- 3 cups of granulated sugar
- 2 cups of water
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
Preparation:
- Prepare the Syrup: Combine granulated sugar and water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then add lemon juice and let it simmer for another 10 minutes. Allow the syrup to cool.
- Prepare the Phyllo Dough: Lay out the Kral Gıda baklava phyllo sheets on a clean surface. Cover them with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
- Prepare the Walnut or Pistachio Filling: Coarsely chop the walnuts. If using Antep pistachios, remove the shells.
- Layer the Phyllo Dough: Melt the butter. Grease the baking tray and lay the first phyllo sheet. Brush with melted butter. Repeat this process for each sheet. After every 5-6 sheets, sprinkle a generous amount of walnut or pistachio filling.
- Cut and Bake: After layering all the sheets, cut the baklava into squares or diamond shapes using a sharp knife. Drizzle the remaining butter over the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) until golden brown.
- Add the Syrup: Remove the baklava from the oven and let it cool. Once cooled, pour the prepared syrup over the baklava. Let it sit for 2-3 hours to absorb the syrup fully.
