Baklava

Baklava is a rich, sweet pastry made of thin layers of phyllo dough filled with finely chopped nuts, such as pistachios or walnuts. It is brushed with butter and baked until golden, then soaked in a fragrant syrup often infused with honey, lemon, or cinnamon. The result is a flaky, chewy dessert with a harmonious balance of sweetness and nutty flavor. Originating from Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Balkan cuisines, baklava is enjoyed worldwide as a luxurious, indulgent treat often served during celebrations and special occasions.
