About Homemade baklava

Homemade Baklava is a rich, sweet pastry rooted in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. This indulgent dessert is made by layering thin sheets of phyllo dough with finely chopped nuts, such as walnuts, pistachios, or almonds, and binding them together with butter. Once baked to a golden crisp, it’s drenched in a fragrant syrup made from honey, sugar, lemon juice, and spices like cinnamon or cloves. While baklava is a decadent treat high in calories, its nut content provides healthy fats, fiber, and essential vitamins. Additionally, the use of honey over refined sugars adds trace antioxidants and a natural sweetness. However, its high sugar and butter content make it a dish best enjoyed in moderation. Baklava's intricate preparation and heritage make it a beloved staple at celebrations and a symbol of hospitality across many cultures.
