[@julv5767]

Definitely not the same as the baklava I grew up with, but there's many ways to make baklava. I think everyone loves the baklava they grew up with, for me thats a more crispy diamond-shaped baklava with walnuts and a lightly sweet syrup (sherbet). Our syrup never used honey, just sugar, water, butter and lemon is very important. You want the syrup to have a more light sweetness, not like caramel or honey, it was never overpowering in sweetness, just the right amount of sweetness, a thin handmade dough, cooked to be slightly crisped but not too hard and nutty.

[@berkayerdogan3847]

[@radhiadeedou8286]

May I ask where your family is from?

[@DrLukeHart]

That's really cool Jul, I like the variations people bring on these comment threads :) I had baklava at a Lebanese restaurant and there was definitely some honey in the syrupy pastry, but weirdly a pinch of cinnamon came through aswell. I love cinnamon and honey combined so I had no complaints! :)

[@angeliki5135]

Oh that is a different recipe from the baklava I know and love. But I will try yours too, it sounds delicious! 😋 The recipe I grew up with is the syrup we use water, honey, sugar, orange or lemon zest (I much prefer orange), cinnamon stick and some cloves. Very rarely do we ever add this one ingredient of star Anise, only around the holidays we do that because it really dose bring some cheer into the syrup and make it taste more intensely like cinnamon and our family personally loves it.. Otherwise we do not use it because not everyone likes that. The result of this syrup is a thick, caramel honey taste that has a tangy taste of the orange to add to the sweetness or the tangy citrus of lemon to cut through the sweetness just right. It balances out better with the lemon but my family is a bunch of sweet tooths. Ahah 😆 My hometown is Pylos, everyone there makes the syrup like this. I feel you might be from the more North area of the Mediterranean, the dishes there are so similar but slightly different in a tasty way unknown to us. Hopefully I can recreate your recipe well and I'll get back to you when I have! 😊 😋 ❤

[@mynameisjeff9062]

Hey Babish, There is a tiny tiny flaw in your baklava. I am from Turkey, where baklava originates from(probably) and I can say that your baklava is more about the fillings. Traditional baklava is more about the pastry and the syrup. Traditionally speaking baklava has a chunky one layer filling. It has a thinner bottom layer which sucks the syrup a lot and gets soggy, and the bottom thick and puffed up one is more crunchy. Looks delicious and I love you man!!!

I am from turkey and my grandma makes baklava every year for holidays. Something is off about this baklava. There should be more layers, a little bit bigger and chunkier pistachio, the syrup must be boiling when you pour it on the baklava so it looks like the dough is dancing at first because of the boiling syrup. It should not be dry, but soaked in syrup. You roll out dough yourself, it should be really thin because there will be a lot of layers and it will swell with syrup. Also it is made in round, big, metal trays because it is meant to be served to guests, relatives and other family members during those holidays and special days.

traditionally, you need many many more bottom layers without any nuts, and on top, you need at least 10 top layers without any nuts. And you need to pour the syrup boiling hot. In my birthtown, it is usually done with more than 40 layers, all nuts on a single middle layer. you can do it like this too, but the experience and texture is really different.
