Servings: 12
18 sheets phyllo dough 9×14 in size
2 cups walnuts or optional other nuts
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup honey
melted chocolate optional, for garnish
chopped walnuts optional, for garnish
In a food processor, chop the walnuts into tiny pieces.
Place the chopped walnuts in a bowl and toss with powdered sugar and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, melt the butter.
Lay out one phyllo sheet at the time, then brush it with melted butter until you have a total of three stacked buttered sheets.
Spread 1/3 cup of the nut mixture evenly onto the stack of buttered sheets. Roll the sheet up (from the short edge) into a tight roll and set it in a 9×13 baking dish. Repeat the process until you run out of ingredients (you should have 6 rolls in all).
Brush the rolled baklava with melted butter. Bake it at 375°F for 25 minutes.
In a small pot, combine the sugar and water and cook it on low heat for about 10 minutes. Add the honey and stir until it's melted.
Pour the mixture over the hot rolled baklava and allow the baklava to rest for at least 3 hours.
Slice the baklava rolls into your preferred size, and then garnish with melted chocolate and chopped walnuts before serving, if desired! Enjoy!
