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. If you are not making phyllo sheets from scratch, it is really so easy to make baklava using packaged phyllo. What makes it a challenge for most people is the duration of preparing the layers of baklava in baking pan.
Steps to make Easy Baklava:
- Thaw phyllo dough according to directions on package.
- Preheat oven to 375°F
- In a food processor, combine all the filling ingredients and pulse a few times to mix the nuts as well as grind them down into pieces.
- On low heat, melt your butter in a sauce pan. Open the phyllo dough and lay out flat. Trim the sheets of dough to fit a 9"x3" baking pan (casserole dish). Split the dough into four equal stacks. They dont have to be perfect numbers.
- Lay first stack of dough into pan. Next sprinkle some of the filling on top. Repeat this step two more times. Lastly, add the final layer of dough on top. Feel free to do as many layers as you like and any thickness you like.
- Cut the pastry into 24 squares. Remove foamy white part from melted butter. Pour melted butter over all the pastry evenly.
- Bake pastry for 40 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow time to cool off and become crispy.
- Meanwhile, in a sauce pan on medium high heat, bring water and sugar to a boil. Stir and ensure all sugar is dissolved. Add honey and bring back to a boil then lower to simmer for ten minutes.
- Once pastry has cooled off, pour syrup over all the pastry evenly.
- Allow the pastry time to rest up to as many as 15 hours in order to enjoy the baklava at its finest.
