I've made Baklava and Tiramisu for my son's wedding. I did not find my recipe so I looked online and watched several KZbins. I liked yours the best. It was closest to the one I had made before and i enjoyed listening to you. Great job!

No Greek pastry chef wastes time buttering phyllo that way. They dip the brush in the butter and sprinkle the leaves. The baklava still turns out great. The other thing is that the syrup and baklava need to be drastically opposite temperatures, otherwise it turns to mush. Make the syrup first and let it cook on the counter while you prepare the baklava, then put they syrup in the fridge to get cold while the baklava is in the oven. Spoon the very cold syrup onto the very hot baklava. Or you can cool your baklava in the fridge and then make the syrup and spoon it on. You can also substitute the butter with olive oil.

[@Gollum2150]

So you can make baklava, refrigerate it, and then just pour hot syrup and it’s just as good?

[@n.2488]

@thepolicaljunkie stick to tried and true hot baklava with cold syrup

[@pennylane428]

Just answered every question or thought that I’ve had learning about making Phyllo recipes ♥️ you sound really knowledgeable. thank you for the information

[@garden4u2]

What is the recipe for the syrup….Greek syrup recioe

[@SarahMyful]

Thank you. I was looking for this tip in many videos cause mine turned soft once. Surprised why nobody mentions such important tip.

[@jonquinones964]

My grandmother was from the Canary Islands. I used to make this recipe 50 years ago. Love it.

[@elainethompson6514]

Just tried it w/ coconut oil instead of butter bc I needed it to be heart healthier for an event...it works! You just gotta put it on the upper middle rack and cut the bake time by 10ish minutes. You could even make it vegan w/ maple syrup instead of honey. ❤

[@denicesanders4586]

I had a friend from Turkey who had Baklava sent from his mother. It was so good!

[@dilekdemirhan6387]

That’s because Baklava isn’t Greek it’s actually Turkish

[@sylviaseri4235]

My friend is Armenian and makes Baklava this same way. I have watched her make it many times! Great recipe!

[@pxpq]

Both share the same imperial history through the Ottoman Empire so they are heavily influenced by it, otherwise unrelated countries got to take up on each others culture when they were conquered by the same empire...

[@leebrashear9821]

Made this today and it's the best recipe I ever made!!! My previous recipe always had sugar in the nut mix but I found it too sweet, so I tried it with only sweet was the syrup. It is fantastic! Thank you so much.

[@derya1642]

You did really great. I haven't eat Greek baklava yet but I ate Turkish baklava and really love it.

[@lyben123]

Looks so good! I'm going to try this. Thanks for sharing!

[@lilsav812]

I've never made baklava as I have always imagined it would be the most fiddliest and intricate recipe and process. So my ears pricked up when I saw you were cooking it and the video was only a few minutes! I can't wait to give this a try now that I know it's not as co.plicated as I imagined. Thanks for sharing your great tips and recipes.

[@cherylpope9624]

This recipe is excellent and well done!! Thank you

[@Thesimplestcooking]

I brought the filo pastry and this is the first recipe that I opened and liked a lot. Hope mine will be as yummy as yours In Sha Allah 🙂

I absolutely love your Baklava recipe! I have made it at least a dozen times!! Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@riverunner9978]

I make this every year for thanksgiving.

[@christianabaeza5502]

This looks so good 😋I'm going to make it for mother's day. Thank you!

[@pateole1951]

Regardless, it looks like the Greek baklava i grew up with & served in the deli i worked in. And i am sure anything this chick cooks is good!, thank you again for your amazing recipes!!! 🙏

[@robind8149]

Looking forward to trying this, used to get baklava from a gyros shop run by a Greek family in the small town where I used to live, and it was like homemade… so I rarely like it any where else. 🙏❤️

[@Ojb_1959]

I once volunteered at the Greek Festival here in New Orleans and all day made pans and pans of baklava with the local Yaya’s.

[@cherylgriffin9242]

Wow this looks delicious I used to serve this in the deli I worked at and it didn't look too hard so I think I'm going to give it a try

[@tompuskar4426]

Doesn't matter to me if it is Greek or Turkish, it looks great and pretty easy to make. Love it!

[@pbabuik]

A little tip . You don't need to butter every layer. Just build your layers then cut the pieces then add butter on top will seep through while baking

[@barbied7650]

Looking forward to making this with my girls. THANK 😊 YOU

[@poppywilliams8404]

That looks good! You just kicked me um...to the delish zone! Yummy, yum! Waving to you from south Georgia-land of best Peaches, boiled Peanuts, & Vidalia onions! 🥘🍲🦞🥧🌭🌮🍕🍟🫔🍿🥗🦐🍝🍠☕🫖🗽🚑🚒🚓

[@bridgettewood1713]

I love Baklava where ever it comes from, it's all so very good! And I'm going to make some Baklava, just one question, can you mix chopped up dates and walnuts for the filling or just walnuts? Thank you.

[@lylytorrence4890]

Yummy. I could eat that entire pan by myself 🎉🎉❤❤

[@MFESSEN]

Wow it looks so delicious, I can’t wait to cook it for my family. Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@pattihensley1159]

So fun, informative and very clear instructions. Haven’t tasted it yet. It just came out of the oven.😊

[@KelvinsKitchen]

Greek Baklava is my fave!

[@Jane-lp8so]

Could you use maple syrup, instead of the honey?

[@johnfarmakis8518]

I have tips…. Drip butter on each layer do not brush. And phyllo, butter, phyllo, butter, walnuts. Also water is bad on the layers inside. No water inside. Oh and clarified butter because we don’t want water. Top phyllo gets a little water to crisp

[@charlottestewart5802]

I know how to make baklava, but got a couple of valuable tips here. Plus, I just enjoy listening to her😄

[@unowen7591]

"Minutes later" Haha love your sense of humor. This looks amazing! Will definitely try this recipe!

[@pennylane428]

I was told you never put hot syrup on warm baklava, or putCold on Cold. Takes away the crunch of the Phyllo makes it a soggy.

[@brigittebilodeau8579]

I enjoyed watching the video thank you it was very easy to make . I red some comments before making it I was annoyed by some comments stating and complaining about this not being Greek ! Turkish who cares about the authenticity of the dish ! You make it if it’s good than you are grateful for the recipe if you want authentic than go look in your great grandmother’s recipe book . Your recipe was simple easy to follow I have never made baklava before , I looked up others recipe and I just reduced the water to 3/4 cup and I added 3 table spoon of lemon juice it was out if this world !!!! It’s the best baklava I have ever tasted . Thank you again 😊😊😊😊

[@yasminelahoud9594]

You have to try the Lebanese Baklawa, it is amazing 🤩

[@zaria5785]

Sounds interesting. What’s in it?

[@10outof10x]

No honey in syrup and use rose water or orange blossom water. Very good, altho I'm partial to the Greek Baklava myself

[@blanchefisher2780]

[@heartsafireful]

I made the Baklava it came out great everyone loved it, I didn’t put it in the fridge but it was still a little soft, I did cover it. What can I do to keep it from getting soft? Or is it suppose to be?

[@magsi6570]

Refer to sofie wait word comment. Also don’t cover until it’s completely cold

[@zeljkaklindzic5704]

Can I put 5or 6 cloves in the syrup? Or a clove in each piece?

[@bobthemonkeylive1963]

Is that greek version baklava or orginal cause orginial is from turkey

You ever notice people in USA never put things on things? They're always putting things over things. They put pots over a stove, they pour syrup over baklava, they put gravy over rice. The rest of the world puts pots on stoves and pours syrup onto baklava and puts gravy on rice, but people in USA have mastered the art of levitation, or something.

this is so interesting. The Greeks had not change the name of a dish they stole and used it as it was. Normally, I expected them to change the name to baklavoidis or baklavopoulos like they always do :). (example: lokma-- loukoumádes. lokma is a Turkish word using for food eaten at once).

[@russbear31]

Love Baklava. I only have it once a year when a nearby Greek Orthodox Church hosts a food festival. Those little old Greek church ladies make a mean Baklava. 😃

Even the president of Greece, Kyriákos Mitsotákis himself has said that baklava is a Turkish dessert yet some people just wont let go claiming other people's cultures, you go out of your way and call it "Greek," if you don't want to mention the Turks due to your hatred, at least just call it baklava...
