Turkish dessert baclava
The dessert I saw while looking at the cookie book a while ago~! Vaklava! It is said to be the best dessert to eat on a special day in Turkey or the Middle East, but when I finished it and ate it, it was very sweet and crispy. It was a very different and delicious dessert. It was the first dessert I've ever encountered in a book, but it didn't seem that difficult to make when I carefully looked at how to make it. I made it right away because I had the pilofestry I needed. It's a dessert that takes a little bit of care, but the first time I touched it was fascinating, and the process of making it taste very fascinating. A different dessert! Barclova! Let's make it

Ingredients
  • unsalted butter
    200g
  • pecan
    150g
  • almond
    50g
  • Pistachio
    30g
  • cinnamon powder
    2/3ts
  • Pistachio
    little
  • Water
    100g
  • Sugar
    80g
  • lemon juice
    30g
  • chestnut honey
    40g
Cooking Steps
STEP 1/20
First, make syrup and let it cool. Put all the ingredients for the syrup in a saucepan and simmer over high heat.
STEP 2/20
Once it boils, lower the heat to low, and boil it for 7 to 10 minutes. Let the boiled syrup cool. I used chestnut honey, and when I finished it, I loved the scent. If you have chestnut honey, you can use it. If you don't, you can use regular honey
STEP 3/20
Mix the nuts of pecans, almonds, and pistachios with cinnamon powder,
STEP 4/20
I'll grind it a little bit thick. A lot of walnuts are used for baclava, but I replaced them with pecans. I think it's okay to make it with nuts that you like
STEP 5/20
Microwave the butter, heat it 3 to 4 times every 30 seconds, and let it melt completely.
STEP 6/20
And prepare the pilofestry. Pilopestry was the first ingredient I've ever used, and it's a very thin flour dough. It can be used like a pastry, and when it is baked one by one, it is lighter than the pastry and has a crispy texture.
STEP 7/20
Transfer frozen pilopestry to refrigerator overnight and defrost. Defrosted pilofestries are this thin. Thinner than a piece of paper! So you need a little skill in handling it. Defrosted pilofestry is not good to get too wet, but it's important not to dry out. It breaks when it dries, and it sticks to it when it gets wet, so it's not easy to use. Spread it out in a pan and cover it with a tightly squeezed cotton cloth for easy use.
STEP 8/20
One sheet is quite large, so I cut it in half and used it. Cut it in half with scissors.
STEP 9/20
And if you cover it with wet cotton cloth, you're ready to make baclava!
STEP 10/20
Spread melted butter on the pan,
STEP 11/20
Place a sheet of pilopestry on top. Then it's a 20cm square pan, so there will be a little bit. Leave that part, spread butter on top, and then spread the pilofestry again. Put melted butter on it and spread it's..Repeat. You can spread 8 sheets of melted butter on the melted butter. Then, cut the remaining cuts with a knife to fit the size of the pan. It's easy to cut
STEP 12/20
Spread 1/2 of the chopped nuts.
STEP 13/20
Then, cover it with melted butter with 4 sheets of pilofestry. And then cut the remaining filopestries
STEP 14/20
Spread the remaining 1/2 of the nuts,
STEP 15/20
Again, cover each sheet with melted butter, 8 sheets of pilopestry. And cut off the filopestry bits.
STEP 16/20
Lastly, when you're done covering the pilopestry, cut it diagonally. When you put in the sheath, don't put it all in, but put it in about 1/3 of the depth so that it doesn't cut completely.
STEP 17/20
Then pour in all the remaining melted butter. If the butter seeps in moderately
STEP 18/20
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes in a preheated oven at 170 to 180 degrees Celsius
STEP 19/20
When the baclava is done, sprinkle the cooled syrup evenly as soon as it comes out of the oven. You'll hear a patting sound.
STEP 20/20
Then sprinkle the chopped pistachio, cool it completely to soak the syrup, and cut it completely to taste. It can be stored for about 3 days at room temperature and 2 weeks in the refrigerator
Filopestry is sold at baking malls.
