To welcome the new year with something sweet, we made these baklava rolls. This is a simple recipe—delicious thanks to the fresh butter, and crispy because of the preparation method. When rolling, make sure to roll gently, not tightly, and don’t press the two buttered phyllo sheets together; leave some space between them and butter them well. Also, bake slowly for a long time. These are the secrets to tasty, crispy baklava! You can find many more recipes and tips at the following link to my personal blog: https://potsandpanos.blogspot.com/

  2. 1 1/2 cups(about 340 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  3. 2 1/2 cups(about 300 grams) finely chopped walnuts

  10. 2 cups (400 grams)sugar
  11. 2 tablespoonshoney
  12. 1 striplemon peel
  13. 2cinnamon sticks
  14. 6-7whole cloves

Cooking Instructions

2 hours
  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix the chopped almonds and walnuts. Add the cinnamon and ground cloves, and mix well.

  2. 2

    Use 2 sheets of phyllo for each roll. If you have 12 sheets, you’ll make 6 rolls; if 14, you’ll make 7. Divide the filling evenly according to the number of rolls you’ll make.

  3. 3

    Melt the butter. Lay out one sheet of phyllo and lightly brush with melted butter. Place a second sheet on top without pressing down, so air remains between the sheets.

  4. 4

    Add some filling, keeping it away from the edges. Fold the two long sides in about 1 inch (3 cm) to keep the filling inside. Starting from the short side, gently roll up without pressing. Brush the edge with butter to seal.

  5. 5

    Place the roll in a suitable baking pan and repeat the process with the remaining sheets.

  6. 6

    Cut each roll diagonally into pieces and stick a whole clove into each piece. Pour any remaining melted butter over the rolls.

  7. 7

    Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 1 1/2 hours.

  8. 8

    When the baklava is baked, prepare the syrup. In a saucepan, combine all the syrup ingredients except the honey. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the honey. While the syrup is still hot, slowly ladle it over the warm baklava.

  9. 9

    Let cool for one hour before serving.

Ένα από τα χόμπυ μου είναι η μαγειρική.Μου αρέσει να βρίσκω συνταγές, να τις εκτελώ και να τις επεξεργάζομαι, όπου νομίζω ότι παίρνει αλλαγή ως προς το καλύτερο. Εργαζόμουν στον τουριστικό τομέα στο σέρβις, πέρασα από όλες τις βαθμίδες (συνταξιούχος τώρα πλέον) και πάντα μου άρεσε να παρατηρώ την εκτέλεση των συνταγών, από τους μάγειρες! Είμαι της άποψης ότι οι συνταγές δεν πρέπει να μένουν μυστικές, πρέπει να διαδίδονται, για να μαθαίνουν και οι νέοι! Επίσης, στο παρακάτω σύνδεσμο του προσωπικού μου μπλόγκ θα βρείτε και άλλες συνταγές. Είναι κατά κάποιον τρόπο μια κατάθεση όλων, όσων έχω μάθει τόσα χρόνια στο επάγγελμα : https://potsandpanos.blogspot.com/
