#baklava #lebanese #ramadan
I tried this recipe last night. I must say I was initially skeptical about skipping the brushing of ghee on each layer but went ahead with your method anyway. It turned out amazing. There’s no way I’m m going to go back to the old method. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and method with us.
You sure about that? Biting / chewing didn't it feel dry?
Tried this yesterday, first time making baklawa. Everyone said it was the best they've ever had!!
That makes me so happy to hear! Yay!!
I’m gonna try making this tomorrow
I’m of Greek heritage and wanted to make baklava for years. Because of chronic illness, I’ve not been able to tackle the original recipe. I’ll definitely plan to make this one. What a time saver! Thanks for sharing!
I do not understand the connection of baklava with the greeks? Why isn't baklava or halva or Stuffed, stuffed leaves, Kourabiedes, moussaka, pastry, tzatziki,Spanakopita, doner kebab,Giouvetsi stew..other Turkish things that you want to show like greek ones mentioned in any greek traveler..greek philosopher or any greek history book until today? Why don't all the products you own have any meaning, including the software in the greek language? :)) cultural theft is a very bad thing.. !!! they also explain why the British call the Greeks thieves.. :)
I just finished baking the baklava your way, and I’m thankful to Allah and then to you for the wonderful simple way of making great baklava. Keep the good work.
I tried this method and I highly recommend it!! No one could tell I didn't butter each layer. Thank you, was a real hit!!
Using freshly-melted, regular (unsalted) butter works just fine (if you don't have ghee on hand). Thanks for this quick recipe hint! Brava!
I've made this so many times over the past year and no matter what I do, it's very forgiving and always comes out crispy, flaky & delicious. I use vegan butter and cut back the amount from 3/4 cup to 1/4 cup and it's STILL great. I loved baklava before going vegan but was intimidated to use phyllo until I watched your video. Thank you so much!
Made this yesterday since we had accidentally bought Filo sheets rather than puff pastry sheets during Ramadan.
This turned out SUPER authentic and was VERY delicious. My family loved the recipe and I can't wait to make again.
The method you gave regarding not buttering every layer saved a lot of time too, and didn't alter the taste at all.
Sounds like it was meant to be! Yay!! I'm so glad to hear it!
Same here 🥴 now making baklava
Never in my life i thought I would be able to make Baklava. But i followed your recepie and it turned out great . You are awesome.
That's amazing!! Thank you!
SO SO GLAD I WATCHED THIS. I learned to make Lebanese baklava from a Lebanese cook and was just going to make it and then saw this. Took 15 minutes instead of an hour, super easy and it's beautiful...!!! sometimes I dread making it because it's lots of work, but no more worries...!!!
So glad you enjoyed! Yay!!
Again wow! Made this and it saved me so much time from having to butter every single layer. It sure does taste just the same. Thanks again for your amazing and authentic Lebanese recipes! ❤️
By the way tried it with honey before and it ruined the taste. So glad you did not use 🍯. 😊
That makes me so happy to hear! You're so welcome!!

I am cooking it not for the first time! Amazing recipe !!! It's just simply perfect!!!! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for sharing the easy way to make Baklava. I made it per your recipe and instructions and now my family wants it all the time, LOL. I’m making it and surprising my brother in law (his favorite dessert) to go with the grape leaves he’s making for dinner for us. He absolutely loved it last time I made it and has already requested it for his birthday.
Thank you for sharing this approachable method. I grew up in a Lebanese-American household and when my mom made ba'lawa it was a reason to rejoice. I've never tried making it myself because just watching my mom do it was intimidating, but you've definitely helped take my hesitation down many notches, so I think I will FINALLY attempt making it myself.
You're so welcome! I believe in you!! This method is greatly simplified and definitely approachable.
I hope it turned out well. I follow a recipe very similar to this (pretty much the same but I add a bit of cinnamon to the nut mixture). I was always too intimidated to make it but it I gave it a go and it was the best dessert I’d ever made. The trick to not soggy baklava is just as she say. Cold syrup and hot baklava straight out of the oven. The sizzle you hear is how you know you did it right!!
I’m going to put my trust in you and try making it without buttering each sheet. I’m sure it’s going to turn out perfectly!!
I by mistake bought a puff pastry . I am glad to say that after making a few little changes. The Baklava came out really lovely. Thank you for sharing this quicker method with us . May Allah reward you beautifully ❤
Glad it still worked out! You're so welcome! Thank you.
I just found your channel and I love it and I just ordered some ingredients for the baklava I never in 1 million years thought I could make this but I’m definitely going to try and I’m so excited about it!
This is the second time I made this, but the first time making it this way, so delicious and a lot more easier, thank you for showing a much easier way.
I just made this with my kids for our homeschool as we have been studying Greece this week and wanted to make a traditional Middle Eastern dessert! It turned out absolutely fabulous despite not using orange water, having messy phyllo sheets and cutting it in squares! Thank you so much for sharing this technique, I will be making it regularly for all of the holidays as our new (Portuguese) family tradition!!!! :)

BAKLAVA IS A TURKISH DESSERT
You've completely changed my baklava game with your ghee trick! Holy! Thank you so much!
Made this for Eid yesterday, it was perfect!
I love that! Eid Mubarak!
This is so brilliant! Thank you! I really appreciated the tip about using ghee for better crispiness.
Thank you!! Hope it helps!
Thank you for this! I’ve only made it once before and this looks like a way easier method
This is definitely worth trying, since it's time saving. I also add cinnamon and cardamon to the walnut and sugar mixture
My boyfriend LOVES baklava. I learned how to make them (I've been buttering layer by layer) - that made me not enjoy eating it. This method is SO easy & fast! I feel like I can make them anytime and more often!
I'm gonna try
I don't bake very often because of the work and mess. This was so easy and turned out so good. I recommend it to anyone, even a new baker. Thanks for sharing from your family heritage. I love to learn about all kinds of people and how their culture has influenced the world. Keep up the sharing 😊
I made this recipe and it amazing! Thank you so much. I’m gonna make this way more often
Thank you! Amazingly easy recipe; made it today & turned out perfect
I followed this recipe but made it vegan. It was my first time making baklava and it came out beyond delicious! Thank you for your video! ❤
Love that the vegan version worked out! Yay!! You're so welcome!
Do you use vegan butter or oil instead of ghee to do vegan version ? Thanks
@@SprinklesNSwirls I used vegan butter!
Great demo of a yummy and quick Baklawa!!
Thanks.
I made this the other day using Vegan Butter (lent...), Pistachios and an 1/8th tsp of ground Coriander in the simple syrup. It was so much better than the restaurant in town where I usually buy from. I loved making it at home and I'll never buy commercial Baklava again. Definitely a huge time saving hack, thank you Fellgoodfoodie!
Literally it turned out extremelyyyyy well ,thank you soooooo much for your amazing trick ❤️❤️❤️❤️
AMAZING!! I’ve only had baklava once and I loved it but couldn’t find any nearby so I tried this recipe, it was super easy and turned out perfect! My family LOVED it!
Thank you so much! So glad you all enjoyed!!
HI Yumna, I am so glad you shared this baklava recipe because I never made baklava before because of the amount of work it took to butter every layer of dough. This was the greatest Christmas gift to me because not only was it so easy to make, but it was DELICIOUS. I served it at Christmas and everyone loved it. one of my friends told me it was the best baklava she's ever had. Thank you a thousand times.
Baklava is one of my favourite desserts. Thank for sharing.
Finally a simple way to do it, Now i will try this method! Thank you
I did it and it came out delicious thank you 🙏🏼
I totally love this dessert, so WILL have to make it! Thanx for helping me to do that!
Tried it for the first time.... it was quick and easy and Way better than what I expected. Was a big hit with the guests. 100 percent recommended 😊
I made it yesterday and turned out super nice!! Thanks for sharing!
I can't wait to try this. I usually do it the hard way. Thank you!
Super, thank you ! Will send this recipe to my grand-daughter !
just made my first ever Baklava. Tasted sooo good, but next time I will try your easier method as it took me ages!
I can’t wait to make this, thank you 🙏🏼
I tried your quick method, it totally worked! Took me 10 minutes! I used a layer of raspberry jam instead of nuts, and it still came out great. Hardest part was cutting it :) Thank you for your video.
put it in fridge or freezer untill the ghee is set and cold and makes the cutting 100 times easier
I like this short cut recipe too. Though i just made a traditional Baklava with mix nuts and chocolate, couple of days ago and it turned out so good that my whole family enjoyed so much. Next time i might try your way and i must say you explained each and every steps very well.
Can you share the traditional baklava recipe plz?
Can you share the traditional baklava recipe plz?
Thank you so much for this great tutorial! I decided to make this for the first time on Thanksgiving and it turned out beautifully. I was always intimidated to make it, but it really wasn't difficult. I did get nervous as it didn't seem like the butter was soaking down deep into the bottom most layers at first, but after baking, it was perfect. Highly recommend!
So Delicious, the crunch Yummy. Will try it for sure.
So easy and delicious! I added a dash of cinnamon to combo walnuts/pistachios and used lactose free butter as I couldn’t find ghee.
this was delicious thank you!! ❤❤
For sure this is the most easy recipe l have ever seen,thanks so much.
Made this today! Reminded me of home :) thank you ❤️
Thanks yumna i have been looking for this easy version recipe .millions thumbs up.
Awww thank you!! Hope you make it!!
Tried this last night and it was delicious!
So need a pan of this RIGHT NOW!
I love this dessert! thank you for sharing.
Same here! Of course!!
I always used to buy a piece of baklava & it's super expensive..... What an awesome learning... Super blessed for sharing 🤲Thank you ❤
Best ever with great simple flavors and no spicing! My husband's comment was that I hit it out of the ball park with this one. Big compliment from a nonsports guy.
Only difference was I added a bit of lemon peel to the syrup.
Made 1/2 recipe in an 8 x 8 pan with 6 sheets of leftover phylo from the freezer. I ended up with 24 layers and it looks beautiful!
Wow what a genius method. I love baklava but would never attempt to make it. Until now!!
Making this regularly. It’s a favorite in the house now.
Thank you for this recipe, the easiest ever baklava recipe I saw
You're so welcome!!

Hi, I just happened upon your video I am so excited I love making baklava as I am Lebanese also. I am enjoying your video and the way you have prepared one of our favorite treats and I to use clarified butter is the best way we really love it a lot I’m so excited to have found your video and I’m looking forward to more Lebanese cooking.❤😊
I tried the recipe, and this recipe is a perfect recipe. This technique is quick and best

It’s so good!! Thank you for the recipe and hack!!!
Easy and tasty 😋 we use walnuts too in Greek baklava version .
I enjoy the video thank you for sharing your recipes
Looks lovely.
It is sooo wonderfully easy😊👍❤️
Hello! I found this video here after seeing your UA-cam short on quick and easy baklava. I have followed your instructions, and it has just gone into the oven.
I've never made baklava, but have always loved it since my mother worked in a Greek restaurant when I was a child and would bring home fresh baked pieces for my siblings and me.
I'm lucky to have a Mediterranean store nearby, and the Iranian owners were most kind in helping me to choose phyllo dough and ghee. The phyllo brand is called "Bujrum Judka", and boy, this stuff is challenging to work with, but so beautifully made. As soon as I melted the ghee I could smell that wonderful baklava from my childhood-- you're so right that we shouldn't substitute butter. I forgot I needed orange or rose blossom water, so I substituted orange zest in the simple syrup-- the lemon and orange brighten the syrup nicely. I couldn't make up my mind, so I decided to do a 50/50 blend of walnuts and pistachios for the filling as a nod to both versions-- it should be delicious.
Many thanks for making an intimidating pastry doable--I can't wait to try this!
Brilliant! I adore baklava, but the process of buttering the layers is daunting. Also, highly prefer simple syrup versus honey. So, this is a win-win! 👍
Wow! This is my favourite sweet but I was not game to make! Will definitely try making this. Thank you so much👍💖😊
Can't wait to hear what you think! You're so welcome!
You are amazing, I’m Puerto Rican and I have a love relationship with Baklava lol thank you for sharing
Thank you! I love that!! Baklava is the best.
This is my favorite dessert hands down I worked at a Lebanese bakery, and they used rosewater in their baklava the most amazing, the shop is closed now I haven has it in years so glad I can have it again, baklava without rosewater doesn’t hit the spot.
My granddaughter is coming over tomorrow and we are going to make Baklava. So glad I came upon this recipe it looks so much easier. Thank you. 😋 ❤
Thanks so much. I always wanted to try this you make it so easy bless you for sharing I hope you had a wonderful Eid.
