Midye Baklava Recipe

I decided that the dessert of this bayram should be midye baklava. Midye baklava means mussel baklava. As you can imagine, it takes its name after its shape. Although Midye baklava tastes exactly like classic home-baked baklava, it is a practical baklava type that takes much less time to make than classic baklava. One of the details that makes midye baklava attractive is that it offers a stylish and different visual.
When making baklava, many people's goal is to make it crispy. For this purpose, ingredients such as yoghurt and cornstarch are added to the baklava dough, which are thought to increase the crispness of the dough. If you were making cookies, these ingredients will definitely work and make the dough crisp. But if you are making the baklava dough crisp, the dough will not be elastic and will not be able to be rolled out easily.
If you want to make a crunchy baklava, what you need to do is to roll out the dough as thin as possible. What you should do for making this is to get an elastic dough, not a crisp one. Things that increase the elasticity of the dough are using a hard/high protein flour, preparing the dough with water and flour, and supporting the elasticity with eggs.
For years, I have been making my baklavas with home made baklava recipe or slightly modified versions of it, and my baklavas are never like home baklava. I mean they never become a type of baklava that has thick and hard dough which has absorbed too much syrup. I make thin, crispy baklavas like store bought ones.
I made a very similar dough for the midye baklava recipe and the result was again amazing.
I used pistachios for the filling, but as I mentioned in the recipe, you can also use walnuts if you want.
Do not forget to make the butter clear by straining it with a very fine strainer or cheesecloth. Otherwise, black spots will appear on your baklava.
Baklava will thicken its syrup in about a few hours, but it will reach its best consistency the next day. Therefore, if it is not a matter of life or death, I recommend that you do not serve it on the same day.
