Baklava

I've shared baklava recipes before, but this time I'm providing a detailed, step-by-step guide for those who haven't had success making baklava. My main tip: give the baklava enough time to bake. Lower the oven temperature and let it cook slowly—don't rush it, so it doesn't turn out soggy. I hope this helps you all!

Steps
- 1
First, sift the flour and place it in a large bowl. Add the melted, cooled clarified butter and mix it in well with your hands. Then, pass the mixture through a sieve. In a separate bowl, combine the water and egg, then add the orange blossom water. Gradually add this liquid to the flour mixture.

Mix until you get a soft dough without kneading. Place the dough in a plastic bag and let it rest for about 30 minutes. Then, divide the dough into balls and roll them out with a rolling pin. Next, use a pasta machine, starting at setting 1, then 3, and finally the last setting (usually 9) to get thin sheets.

Grease a baking pan with melted clarified butter. Place the first layer of dough, brush with butter, then add the second layer and brush with butter. Continue this process until you have seven layers, leaving the seventh layer unbuttered. For the filling, add four tablespoons of clarified butter to the chopped peanuts or almonds and mix well. Add four tablespoons of orange blossom water and mix again. Spread the filling evenly over the seventh layer and smooth it out with your hand.

In the same way, layer the remaining sheets on top, brushing each with butter except for the final (seventh) layer, which should remain unbuttered. Cut the baklava into your preferred shapes (I made triangles), slicing all the way to the bottom of the pan. Decorate each piece with a whole almond or walnut. Cover with a towel and then plastic wrap, and let it rest for about four hours. Preheat the oven to a very low temperature, then bake the baklava slowly for about two hours until golden brown.

As soon as you take it out of the oven, pour honey syrup over the baklava and let it sit until the next day. Then, cut and store in containers or bags.

The result is delicious, flaky baklava as you can see—enjoy!
