Angelo's Mom Makes Baklava (Greek Dessert Pastry)
Вставка

- For this it really helps to watch the video to understand each step. Do not consume if you have diabetes. Do not take the fillo dough out until you are about to put it into the baking pan. The ingredients for the baklava (syrup is separate below):
-Four pounds of walnuts
-10 ounce bag of almonds
-1 box of Fillo #4 dough
-1 pound of unsalted butter
-Half a cup of sugar
-1 teaspoon of nutmeg
-About 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground cloves
-1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
-Cloves
-A brush for the butter
-Plastic fake knife thing (watch the video)
-Knife
-A baking pan or two to support the weight
Ingredients for the syrup:
-4 cups of sugar
-2 1/2 cups of water
-Juice from one lemon or lime (prevents syrup from caramelizing)
-A few cinnamon sticks
-Cloves
Blend four pounds of walnuts so they're finely grounded. Blend the 10 ounces of almonds (don't make either TOO fine or they lose their oil according to my mom). Mix them both in a bowl. Add a half cup of sugar to the bowl, 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, about 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground cloves, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and stir everything thoroughly so it's evenly distributed.
Put the pound of butter into a pot and melt it on a stove. Don't sneeze near the food (mostly relevant to me). When the butter is melted, get the brush and dip it in the butter, brushing it on the bottom of the baking pan. Take out the fillo dough (not before, because it gets brittle quickly when it's left out) and lay one layer on the bottom of the pan. Brush butter on that layer of dough, and repeat it for 9 layers.
Grab the mixed walnuts and almonds by hand and spread them over the dough, evenly distributing them and covering every part of the dough. Watch my mom do it to get an idea of how thick to make it, because it doesn't get that thick, though I guess you can experiment with that.
Above the layer of nuts lay down another sheet of fillo dough and spread butter on it with the brush. Lay down another layer of fillo and brush butter on it. Spread the nuts again (DEEZ NUTS-GOT 'EEM!) over the dough the same as before, covering it entirely, and then laying down a sheet of fillo dough, buttering it, doing the same with a second, and repeating until you run out of nuts.
On the top layer of dough, put 8 or 9 layers of fillo, buttering each individual layer, including the very top.
Cut the entire "cake" into rows without cutting all the way to the bottom, then into four cornered diamonds, again never cutting to the bottom. Stick the cloves into the top of each diamond like you would a toothpick into a sandwich.
Cook it in the oven at 350 degrees for an hour or until golden brown.
While you're cooking you can put the ingredients together for the syrup in the pot, but do not boil it yet. Wait until the baklava is done cooking and out of the oven for 15 minutes to cool down.
Then make the syrup. Put the 4 cups of sugar and 2 1/2 cups of water in a pot. Put the juice from a lemon or lime in to keep it from caramelizing. Add a few cinnamon sticks, cloves, and boil it for five minutes, stirring it occasionally.
After five minutes, sift the cloves and cinnamon sticks out, and pour it onto the baklava. You can eat it soon afterwards, but the syrup takes about 24 hours to really soak into it. Do not refrigerate it, just store it in tupperware.
Ignore your dad if he refuses to accept that he needs to get an oil change on his car. Enjoy.

Sissy Piper You asked for it a while ago, didn't you? You're welcome! I will.
Sissy Piper I saw that Parthenon in a documentary about Harmony Korine and Gaspar Noe and told my mom about it once. She was disgusted and said it's a fake. Someday she should see it.
+FlyingOverTr0ut well, she's right it is a fake haha. it's pretty cool to visit, they have a giant size statue of Athena inside (she is as tall as the building) and there is a museum inside.
Sissy Piper. I just love her great baker!!!😊
Baklava is divine! I make sure to watch your videos everyday cause I love your mom so much. Don't ever stop :)

Thanks!
Love baklava but never make it cause it's so much work. Tell Mama thank you for the recipe!
+Pam I I will, thanks! It is a lot of tedious work.
When I was a teenager, I had my first piece of baklava, I totally fell in love with this treat but it was something i had to be discipline with, now I'm married with children and watching your Mom (who which is a Gem 💎) make this OMG, I just about had a Sugerbeties attack.
She's so cute! I love listening to her.
Omg she is wonderful!! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks!
Best cooking video ever for baklava and baking in general!! I love Angelo and MOM!!
we love your mom
Watching many videos on how to make baklava, this is by far the best video I've watched. I love her character!
Wait, I'm confused... Do we need to change the oil before adding the nuts? Or it is after? And does it matter if it's synthetic? I hear that adds a special flavor that sometimes disagrees with the honey... Please can you ask your mom to clarify? Also, your dad RULES!
I love your mom! She reminds me of my mother. Να είσαστε όλη καλα! και ευτυχισμένη!
+Sophia French Thanks!
This was so awesome. TY so much. She is precious. I love Bakalava
Thanks!
Bless you Angelo for sneezing ! Your mom’s so funny . Love it! Thanks for posting
Greek or indian, mom's are the same. She reminds me of my mom, esp the way she washed the chopping board n kept it aside, time management type clearing the kitchen hehe. So cute.
Its actually Turkish dessert.
@@hasantorun5410 Nope, its not.
@@user-rw8vz7qe9c lmao yeah it is bruh
I love it!!! “Go change the oil”😂😂😂😂 they need a tv show 🤣
#reellife

A big fat greek wedding 3 with Angelos family lol. The man may be the head, but the woman is the neck :).

I came here to tell you baklava is Turkish. But I stayed because of this awesome woman

"Just go check the oil and leave me in peace i want to show off my baklava damit!"
Omg.....this is so delicious! Thanks, mom.💞
Thanks!
Yes,I love it !!👍
God Bless your Mother, Reminds me of my own Mother, no matter what race or where you come from Mother's with strong character have almost same reaction and expressions. 🙏God Bless these women and hoping I be the same way with my kids and husband.😂😂
Bless you. I just love her. I feel like I just learned from the master.
Omg!! I Love your Mom!! Bless her heart!! ♥️😂
She’s so funny, and I definitely am going to make this dessert!
Is this your mom? She reminds me so hardcore of my own mother with everything she does. Maybe it's the Greek blood 😂 I almost cried that's how similar it is and thx for that recipe lol
Thanks! She is my mom. Here's her in a cook off: ua-cam.com/video/Yjtm_Y1h2eI/v-deo.html
This woman needs to hand down her cooking secrets for sure. Greek is my favorite food in the world. It would be a shame to lose her secrets and skills. I hope you have sisters!
“Which mother makes this in the middle of the summer” 😂😂. Great recipe and lady ❤️😊.
Oh my goodness! I LOVE this woman! NO SHIT taken!!
Your mom is the cutest person ever, love it :D
