The individual buttering of each layer of pastry creates a seperate air pocket between each layer. That's what makes baklava light and crunchy instead of soggy and dense.
No it's literally exactly the same. I do the same thing with my famous lasagna. My family loves it and eats the whole thing everytime! Now if I could just figure out why our dog keeps getting so fat...
Exactly. I'm American, and I love how people embrace the cultures and cuisines of others. I even like when people make their own personal renditions because gatekeeping foor is trash. HOWEVER do not teach a hack of another person's cultural cuisine and try to say that it's the same or better. Just call it the lazy way without an equal comparison because it will never be the same, regardless of what it is. We should still be humble when exploring the culture of others.
As a turkish person, I can say that a person that has tried baklava before will know this will taste different. Im not saying its bad, its just never has the same crispyness as real baklava. However I can advise you to try making 'sütlü soğuk baklava' its a different kind of baklava and is easier to make.
yeah, I’m sorry but this method will not work does not work that’s not baklava that’s literally like a pistachio pie and simple syrup the fuck? 🤯🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️😳🙄 Sorry it should be honey. Any Arab person knows how to make baklava, and this ain't it folks.
Exactly, the butter separates each layer of filo, if you pour the ghee on top not all layers will be lubed up so the filo will stick to each other and not be as light, airy and crispy
Are you in Turkey right now? Turkey is going through after effects of the earthquake. I hope you are safe and sound ❤️❤️ my condolences to all the lives lost to this earthquake
@@roopsoops202 thank you so much, yes I am in turkey right now and safe, my city is away from the center point of earthquakes however there are many people suffering as it was a big and a large scale disaster. (10 cities got affected by the quakes) Thank you all so much for your prayers and well wishes🤎🩶
that's a biiiig important detail in turkish cooking actually. a lot of food takes effort to make and no trad turk mom will show verbal love so cooking is their love language, mine included!
@@yoobeepedmeinthebeepI am not turkish, but a classmate of mine in elementary school did a presentation about baklava. Then his mom came over and handed out real authentic baklava It was the best I ever tasted, I don’t think I have had any better baklava afterwards that could top it. It might also be my age and taste that have changed. But for an 8 year old, it was the best treat I ever had
Thank you!! I would NEVER have attempted traditional baklava (at 73) but this pistachio one - with this method - I will definitely make for a holiday treat this fall/winter! It looks delicious (and my husband is allergic to walnuts, but not pistachios!) 🎉❤
Don't try it, you can see the bottom is dense and hard and not fluffy, there are no layers in the bottom and it's half the size it should be with that many layers of pastry.
You should make it! I've followed this recipe a few times now (her full step by step recipe is in the description), and it's always amazing. Crispy, buttery, and easy.
I made some yesterday. I followed a different video though. Took a while to butter each layer, but it was sooo worth it. It was crispy, nutty and sweet 😋
This is a great shortcut idea for at home enjoyment without the extra work. However, I think the traditional way is the best way to go. Especially, if serving for guests etc.
@@lene3667 bro she put fuck tone of sheets then fuck ton of pistachios with sugar and then sheets again You don't do that Why would someone even make 2 layers of sheets baklava like no. Just no.
@@lene3667 dont disrispect our cultures pls. We are not here to explain. Just Google how its done and dont make US more sad than we already got. Baklava is a hard sweet to be perfected. (What she did) Thats like cooking Ur thanks giving Turkey in the microwave Mate.... 😂
I am from Syria and my uncle worked in a shop and he makes Syrian sweets in big portions for people, now we are in Canada, but he still can make all of these they are so yummy he makes baklava’s and a lot of other sweets like those 😊
@@jessica3218 So delicious!! But there is too much sugar( cause of sorbet) We make it with walnuts usually and my favorite is walnut baklava. You should try it!🫶🏻
Also u use less butter for the same results. Also if u don't do it will still be crunchy like on ur video but won't remain crunchy for a longer time. Especially the bottom part
So you all are whining and complaining about the fact that you don't think it's a scrunchie. But you know what? She offered us a quick easy way for a delicious dessert and when she took a bite I could hear the crunch. So why don't you try it before you knock it. I appreciate the fact that she came up with something that's so delectable in 10 minutes.
I'm literally addicted to baklava❤ the first time I had it was 5th grade when we learned about Egyptians. I made the most amazing 3d display of the Nile and pyramid we had a substitute teacher and she knew the assignment and she brought in the baklava❤ ever since I have been hooked I'm 37 now and still cant get enuff 😅
This won't be the same thing, you can see the baklava in her fingers isn't as fluffed as baklava is supposed be, however this is indeed a method that will save you time so if you're willing to sacrifice the extra crispiness from the fluffy baklava then this may be something you want to try
Yeah this isn't a hack it's just nonsense. It looks terrible and good not look fluffy at all. You can't even see any layers. You need the butter in between each layer so when it chips it releases steam and expand the layers. This isn't going to do that.
Buttering every sheet makes it taste better. Pretty sure pouring the butter and pistachio mixture on every sheet is what makes me so good. But I’ve seen people make them like sandwich like this before. Still pretty and yummy.
As a Greek person, who has worked in kitchens in a few different hotels while going to college-this trick might take 30mins instead of an hour but it will not taste as good. Trust me on this… we’ve had to make so many of them and we always took the time to do it the right way.
As a pastry chef, I’d defy you to be able to tell the difference because what she says is absolutely true the butter will sleep into every layer, which is what happens even if you butter each layer when you bake it the butter melts and will go into every nook and cranny. This method is definitely a big plus for someone making quick baklava, but I really don’t see that it would make a massive difference in the taste.
@@johnbuttersworth584 I don’t know how to explain how one can tell the difference but anyone who grew up eating this will know that something just doesn’t taste right or as good. Plus, the taste and smell of ghee and butter are different. Obviously I’m not a pastry chef and I cannot explain my point in a better way but having worked with multiple pastry chefs who grew up with Baklava themselves, I can honestly say that you can tell somehow…
@@johnbuttersworth584butter doesn't go in-between all the layers because the sheets stick together even more than they already are when you cut them, also the filling nuts and sugar definitely doesn't taste the same when you just mix them together and toss it in a single layer (in our house it's usually mixed in a pan with the smaller pieces of access sheets until crunchy and delicious and put in every 10-15 sheet and buttered every two sheets)

no it's not about who owns it, they said greeks and turks both find this wrong. i mean yeah turks invented it but the greek have adopted it as their culture and do have a say on how it's done. @@anestis_ball
I mean I disagree, because I'm Persian and my mom makes authentic Baklava with a similar method to this. Meaning she doesn't better every single layer. She does more layers than this video does, so it's like in-between. I love love love my moms Baklava, I feel it's the best in the world (I'm sure I'm not the only Persian/middle eastern child out there who feels that about their parents Baklava, haha), but seriously I wouldn't want it any other way. As a Persian, I'm not offended by this method! Lol
@@neginf9818 well I'm not exactly offended as well, but it just takes the beauty of the long cheerful moments making it with family if we're taking short cuts this way, like the entire joy is in the process not in the end results, we used to make baklava just to share it 🐱 that's why even tho this method could work brilliantly, it's still missing that magical touch
@Nina la Queen Oh yeah, I don't doubt that! Especially because you're used to that, and you grew up with that:-)! My family's magical touch was how my mom makes it, so I prefer it her way. But it's different for you because you have a different experience! Haha, for me, when we would sit around the table watching and helping assemble, and then our mom would poor the bubbling hot butter over a group of sheets, it felt magical to us! So I love that feeling and I love the taste. Bjt you and your family have your own beautiful method and experience of it, so as long as we're all experiencing our own magical moments, I would say it truly doesn't matter how it's made for each person! Because you and I could swap our mothers' methods, it wouldn't be magical for either of us because we want our own childhood Baklava. You know, as I write this out, I feel so lucky to have these special moments. Thank you for reminding me of them🥰
I have actually had both this way and the proper way to make baklava. There is no comparison, if you love the people you are serving it to, take the time and do it right; it makes all the difference.
Lol do tell us because I LOVE this amazing treat and it's so upsetting that I can't ever find a good traditional baklava where I'm at and nobody knows how to make it the traditional way 😢
I make baklava for Christmas and other occasions when gifting is required. Those sheets fit an 11x15 pan so well. More to share! Delirious taste buds celebrate!
I bake baklava myself from scratch because it's much cheaper and will taste more like love in the end! Baklava is not made like this. When you make the dough you make over 30 thin as paper layers each layer is covered with butter and then stacked so that there will be o ly 5 layers in the end. I use nuts and in the end when everything is assembled is when you cover it with 500gr of melted butter. You put it in the oven for more than 2 hours and afterwards you cover it with sugar water. I'm using the albanian recipe. My family used to tell me that baking baklava from scratch is too difficult a d takes too long to make but honestly if you do it correctly and get the hang if it- it usually takes me out 3 hours (without the baking time).
100% knew this. I learned this method from a Turkish bakery, after first learning to make baklava from a Hellene. Also, I like mine soggy and gooey at the bottom, and the butter method isn’t what necessarily makes it that. Pouring the syrup on when it comes out hot is what matters the most.
I am pleased to see people disagreeing with her method in the comment section. Most of the time if a youtuber is popular then you can expect their audience to never question them, even though it's super important ti give feedback
1 hour for the taste gives you the feeling of "finally I can eat" it's more enjoyable And buttering each individual layer makes it crispier since there are air bubbles in the ghee itself and you don't miss any part of the filo sheets at all
I was taught to do it with the simple syrup after it’s cooked. It’s very common in middle eastern and Indian desserts to use lots of simple syrup so it soaks it up 👌
Genius!!! Why didn't we know this decades ago,? I stopped eating homemade Baklava because of the time and effort required. I paid ridiculous amounts to a Persian Bakery then gave up when money dwindled. I'm making this this weekend. If it works I'm bringing it to Church and telling everyone to go to your channel. Bless you!
I love the crispy layers of baklawa u can taste the time and effort in every bite and the varieties YUM I have also tasted ones that the texture felt off I didn't know why but watching this I can see now, still tastes OK and good with coffees but it won't make me close my eyes as I eat it. 😊
as a Turkish yes. please. it might be easier not to butter every layer but please. not everything has to be easy and that hard work is gonna be worth it at the end!
i hope you guys know baklava comes in so so so many forms and this is one of the ways ive been served it by an assyrian patisserie. there is the well known traditional and there is lady finger and so so so many other kinds. stop being so hateful people. if you want traditional, MAKE IT !! shes showing an easier way for those that want it. no one asked for negativity
This looks Amazing Great 😋 Myself I Appreciate this Short cut version since I Never got to learn to make the Real Thing, I Understand and Respect everyone's comment, I Appreciate her ❤ sharing this Recipe..
@@alex0315 Well good food doesnt always come with covenience. IF you already are making something as delightful as baklava, why not add a little bit of your soul into it?!
@@imeldaw.m5525 Haha! It already looks terrible on The video. There are sometimes reasons behind why some foods are made in a certain way. You can of course make them different ly... But The results will be there after
I love her recipe, and it's great with either nut. Sometimes when I make it, I use half walnuts and half pistachios (depends on what I have on hand, plus walnuts are less expensive in my State). It turns out delicious every time.
@liexe6152 Yeah, im not even going to pretend i know the original nut, but we probably just had more walnuts in greece than pistachios. But all the islands have their own way, so this could just be our area's way.
As a Turkish Person. We often never make Baklava in our houses but we do buy it commonly alot as desserts. I'm so happy I found a tutorial to make Baklava at home. This really helped!
As another turkish person I'm ashamed of you if you call this recipe good, just add butter to every layer and made every mid layer pistachioed, will taste better than this crap
Not at all. Actually its used to make at home but somehow new generations getting lazy and instead of making at home they just buy it. So actually we make it at home rather than buying. İt's not a secret recipe at all. İf you ever heard ppl say 'ev baklavası (home made baklava) ' and even more liked one than buyed omes. You talked in such way that its not one of our desserts. so i wanted to clarify 🌺
Thats awesome. I never make anything that takes me more than 20-30 for whole deal. No patience. So this perfect for me, if i ever will do it, unless there is a way to avoid sugar in recipe.
Awesome easy recipe..thank you .I've made many types of Baklava..from savory to sweet..but prefer the Lebanese/Syrian use of Rose or Orange blossom syrup..
As a greek, Im totally offended by this. YOU CAN NOT JUST "PUT ALL THE FYLLOS TOGETHER" YOUR WAY OUT OF BAKLAVA! baklava needs love, needs patience, needs time. All my fellow turkish and arab people will agree!
My lebanese mom has been doing the butter in between each layer for years until she came across this video of you doing it like that and we've been having baklawa more often now 😩💙it doesn't taste any different from how she used to do it (edit she does it the new technique with butter still, not ghee)
As an Indian born eating Ghee... I will have to try to tell the difference if any one can send me both‼️🤣 Well ghee has its own hard to describe Character. But using it in other countries dishes I'm sure it will not give the same taste and flakey texture. But who know someone has more experience to use it and it doesn't make any difference in taste.👏
To make it even tastier and aromatic in flavor you have to put some ground cinnamon and ground cloves in the sugar and pistachio Just a bit Thats a true greek baklava
It would be helpful if you would explain how many philo dough sheets put on the bottom and also on the top. I've never made baklava, so I have no idea. Thanks.
one pack for the bottom and another for the top. you need to lay down individual layers to get a better result tho bc this fast version will not be good.
Baklava is literally the best Turkish creation ever! The only Greek thing on baklava is just the "peanuts yiinis" that come from the Greek island "yiini". I love baklava so much! 🇬🇷🇹🇷💕🕊
I tried baklava for the first time I had a food truck in Portland. And dear God it was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. I’m a chocoholic so I didn’t think I would love this dessert as much as I did but holy crap it’s like my favorite dessert now. I rarely get to have it because so far that food truck is the only place I haven’t found that serves it And I was only in Portland visiting my dad’s family. I live in California, And I’m not a major city like LA so I have had no luck founding any baklava near me. So even though it seems like a ton of work I am tempted to try making it myself at home just because I miss it so much and don’t wanna wait until I go visit my dad’s family again to have again
@@lsdaukul2945 Ah Ok, I didn't know that. I know they make these in Turkey as well but I don't know where it originated. But I associate it with the middle east somehow. Maybe because I know more people from that area.
Like that fact that the butter will soak into the layers wont give baklava its texture It turns into a piece of dough not a seperate crunchy layer of dough Like with this "method" you could also add butter to croissant dough and mix it instead of putting it onto the dough and making layers as you should do. The crossaint would turn into some kinda sweet bread that would be really dense
I would recommend using honey and water instead of simple syrup, because honey gives it a little bit of a specific taste. But otherwise, I think this method definitely thumbs up.
As an Albanian. my mother and grandma's make bakllava and everyone i know Know how to make bakllava,But for us? It takes 1 and a half days to make it. We make it the tradicional way for generations and generations.Im 12 and hopefully someday i learn how to make it!❤
Its never the same as grandmas. Each country, region, and family makes it differently. I love the chewy walnut only. Not too dry not too wet. Real butter. I dnt like the clarified butter taste. 😢😢 God I miss my grandma.
The individual buttering of each layer of pastry creates a seperate air pocket between each layer. That's what makes baklava light and crunchy instead of soggy and dense.
No it's literally exactly the same. I do the same thing with my famous lasagna. My family loves it and eats the whole thing everytime!

@Nina la Queen Oh yeah, I don't doubt that! Especially because you're used to that, and you grew up with that:-)! My family's magical touch was how my mom makes it, so I prefer it her way. But it's different for you because you have a different experience! Haha, for me, when we would sit around the table watching and helping assemble, and then our mom would poor the bubbling hot butter over a group of sheets, it felt magical to us! So I love that feeling and I love the taste. Bjt you and your family have your own beautiful method and experience of it, so as long as we're all experiencing our own magical moments, I would say it truly doesn't matter how it's made for each person! Because you and I could swap our mothers' methods, it wouldn't be magical for either of us because we want our own childhood Baklava.
You know, as I write this out, I feel so lucky to have these special moments. Thank you for reminding me of them🥰
@@aleejjj I have to have my mom read this and translate it for me! 😊
I have actually had both this way and the proper way to make baklava. There is no comparison, if you love the people you are serving it to, take the time and do it right; it makes all the difference.
I’ve always wanted to try this!!
It’s delicious
My mother would kill me.
She didn’t spend all those hours teaching me how to make baklava only to be reduced to 20 min max.
Lol do tell us because I LOVE this amazing treat and it's so upsetting that I can't ever find a good traditional baklava where I'm at and nobody knows how to make it the traditional way 😢
I’ve tried this and it’s an awesome shortcut!!!
I"ve done it a few times and the results are perfect! I do 3 layers of nuts and 4 of filo.
I make baklava for Christmas and other occasions when gifting is required. Those sheets fit an 11x15 pan so well. More to share! Delirious taste buds celebrate!
And, I bet it took more than 10 minutes just to make ONE pan. 😏
@@shejean Not by much. The premade phylo dough really cuts the time down! I also pour over the oil and let it sit to soak. Super easy!
Can name the sheets ..what are are those sheets
@@lavanyareddy9291 phyllo dough from the freezer section
I bake baklava myself from scratch because it's much cheaper and will taste more like love in the end! Baklava is not made like this. When you make the dough you make over 30 thin as paper layers each layer is covered with butter and then stacked so that there will be o ly 5 layers in the end. I use nuts and in the end when everything is assembled is when you cover it with 500gr of melted butter. You put it in the oven for more than 2 hours and afterwards you cover it with sugar water. I'm using the albanian recipe. My family used to tell me that baking baklava from scratch is too difficult a d takes too long to make but honestly if you do it correctly and get the hang if it- it usually takes me out 3 hours (without the baking time).
100% knew this. I learned this method from a Turkish bakery, after first learning to make baklava from a Hellene. Also, I like mine soggy and gooey at the bottom, and the butter method isn’t what necessarily makes it that. Pouring the syrup on when it comes out hot is what matters the most.
This came up during Ramadan I am so hungry now
Guys! There is a REASON why baklava take so much time and effort to make! You can’t simplify everything and expect an amazing result 😅😅
It still tasted good lol, it's just a DIFFERENT result
@@dyodoleu good is NOT amazing 😜
@@asiyagasayni4811 well I definitely still take good over terrible, amazing ofc is preferable 🤣
@@asiyagasayni4811to Mr they taste the same. I've never tried w simple syrup though
It tasted amazing, and the same.
Cries in my German language class in 1978.... layering each sheet
Why are you talking like a 17 year old when you’re like 60
Hahahah
it’s better that way. this video is crap, the results will not be better if you skip steps
@@abbyz13it won't be better then the og but it tastes the same
I am pleased to see people disagreeing with her method in the comment section. Most of the time if a youtuber is popular then you can expect their audience to never question them, even though it's super important ti give feedback
1 hour for the taste gives you the feeling of "finally I can eat" it's more enjoyable
And buttering each individual layer makes it crispier since there are air bubbles in the ghee itself and you don't miss any part of the filo sheets at all
As a Greek this breaks my heart… the layers are so important and I’ve never heard of simple syrup on baklava
Turkish baklava just uses melted sugar and essence for flavoring, melted sugar is simple syrup.
I was taught to do it with the simple syrup after it’s cooked. It’s very common in middle eastern and Indian desserts to use lots of simple syrup so it soaks it up 👌
I'm Greek and you always use a simple almost clear syrup for all syrup based sweets (σιροπιαστά)
Turkish Baklava 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Yunanlılar Türklerin baklavasini ,cacığını,yoğurdumuzu ,musakkamızı alıp ek getirip kendilerinin miş gibi tanıtmaları ayrı gülünc zaten😂😂
I just buy it … coz I make it a home Im eating the whole pan 🥲
Lmao same 🤣
Same for me!!🤭
Difficult to find it...
When I buy it I eat the whole pan!
@NANCY-KATHARYN Mcgraw it was at my local gas station. Owners mother made it. Best thing I ever ate
Buttering each layer will give you crunchiest and tastiest baklava 😋😋😋
Genius!!! Why didn't we know this decades ago,? I stopped eating homemade Baklava because of the time and effort required. I paid ridiculous amounts to a Persian Bakery then gave up when money dwindled.
I'm making this this weekend. If it works I'm bringing it to Church and telling everyone to go to your channel. Bless you!
I love the crispy layers of baklawa u can taste the time and effort in every bite and the varieties YUM I have also tasted ones that the texture felt off I didn't know why but watching this I can see now, still tastes OK and good with coffees but it won't make me close my eyes as I eat it. 😊
Cypriot here, please butter your layers, people. My poor yaya is rolling over in her grave 😭 Baklava is meant to be buttery, sugary goodness.
As a greek i was thinking the same thing 😂
as a Turkish yes. please. it might be easier not to butter every layer but please. not everything has to be easy and that hard work is gonna be worth it at the end!
omg greeks turks and cypriots all agree on something les go!
@@Arlecchino-
@@Crusaderkingspitfire FINALLY 😭😭
@@Arlecchino- its the holy trinity of baklava. Also i love how we just solved one of europes biggest conflicts in a youtube comment section 💀
i hope you guys know baklava comes in so so so many forms and this is one of the ways ive been served it by an assyrian patisserie. there is the well known traditional and there is lady finger and so so so many other kinds. stop being so hateful people. if you want traditional, MAKE IT !! shes showing an easier way for those that want it. no one asked for negativity
This looks Amazing Great 😋 Myself I Appreciate this Short cut version since I Never got to learn to make the Real Thing, I Understand and Respect everyone's comment, I Appreciate her ❤ sharing this Recipe..
Not buttering every sheet is a baklava sin! According to me 😝
But it’s a great idea
I prefer it when it's more convenient. I will give this a try
I did this and my baklava was dry on the inside this method is terrible.
@@alex0315 Well good food doesnt always come with covenience. IF you already are making something as delightful as baklava, why not add a little bit of your soul into it?!
@@imeldaw.m5525 Haha! It already looks terrible on The video. There are sometimes reasons behind why some foods are made in a certain way. You can of course make them different ly... But The results will be there after
I'm black American and even though I have no idea about this dish I'd definitely try it. It looks delicious😊
Come to the türkiye❤
U def should it’s amazing find your self some authentic baklava
I make it every week its just so good
Something about me is that I follow her to improve my listening in English because she has good accent and good recipes
Hope your learning goes smoothly 😊
Yes! She speaks clearly and without that wretched questioning / valley girl voice and vocal fry of a friggin’ khardashian
This one isn't a good recipe, this isn't baklava, I don't know what this is. Butter doesn't go in baklava and this isn't a way to make it.
@@summer_stormm It is my perspective, I love the way she cooks. It is an EASY way to make baklava
bad recipes. this is crap. don’t try to turn authentic dishes into fast food pls 😂 it won’t work
Dammit - making quick baklava 😩 the only thing keeping me from making and consuming panfuls was that tedious preparation of buttering each layer 😆
looks delicious!! you’re so talented!!
The crunch is awesome
I JUST heard about pistachio baklava yesterday!! Haha
Im Greek and we make it with walnuts usually. I want to try this way so bad! Now I have to! 🙂🥰
I love pistachios so to me pistachio baklava is so much better 😭 plus the green is so beautiful
As a Turk I can say originally baklava has pistachio in it
I love her recipe, and it's great with either nut. Sometimes when I make it, I use half walnuts and half pistachios (depends on what I have on hand, plus walnuts are less expensive in my State). It turns out delicious every time.
@liexe6152 Yeah, im not even going to pretend i know the original nut, but we probably just had more walnuts in greece than pistachios.
But all the islands have their own way, so this could just be our area's way.
As a Turkish Person. We often never make Baklava in our houses but we do buy it commonly alot as desserts. I'm so happy I found a tutorial to make Baklava at home. This really helped!
As another turkish person I'm ashamed of you if you call this recipe good, just add butter to every layer and made every mid layer pistachioed, will taste better than this crap
@@CxrvusMxrTuus bro I'm sorry, I'm not from Antep. I'm not like the Baklava guy.
Not at all. Actually its used to make at home but somehow new generations getting lazy and instead of making at home they just buy it. So actually we make it at home rather than buying. İt's not a secret recipe at all. İf you ever heard ppl say 'ev baklavası (home made baklava) ' and even more liked one than buyed omes.
You talked in such way that its not one of our desserts. so i wanted to clarify 🌺
Thats awesome. I never make anything that takes me more than 20-30 for whole deal.
No patience.
So this perfect for me, if i ever will do it, unless there is a way to avoid sugar in recipe.
Oh my goooddd, im in luv with Baklava. And an easy recipe to make at homeee THANKS 💞
Awesome easy recipe..thank you
.I've made many types of Baklava..from savory to sweet..but prefer the Lebanese/Syrian use of Rose or Orange blossom syrup..
Rose syrup is the Persian way, not Levant way!
I followed this recipe to the tea, and it was delicious
Would you pls post the link to the recipe? Ty
@@mochahontas4840 I got you!! Here’s her video link to the full recipe ua-cam.com/video/ImPP0Jx7D7Y/v-deo.html
Thank you!!! Might try this some day
As a greek, Im totally offended by this. YOU CAN NOT JUST "PUT ALL THE FYLLOS TOGETHER" YOUR WAY OUT OF BAKLAVA! baklava needs love, needs patience, needs time. All my fellow turkish and arab people will agree!
As a turkish person i agree with you
As a fellow Arab, i agree.
it’s not that serious
as an Arab I don't care people are free to do as they wish
@@mimilune2746 well, neither do i. But humour is a thing actually. You could try it sometime ✨
My lebanese mom has been doing the butter in between each layer for years until she came across this video of you doing it like that and we've been having baklawa more often now 😩💙it doesn't taste any different from how she used to do it (edit she does it the new technique with butter still, not ghee)
it absolutely does taste different lol make 2 and compare. it’s different
Yes it does taste different, this is a trash recipe
As an Indian born eating Ghee... I will have to try to tell the difference if any one can send me both‼️🤣
Well ghee has its own hard to describe Character. But using it in other countries dishes I'm sure it will not give the same taste and flakey texture. But who know someone has more experience to use it and it doesn't make any difference in taste.👏
Thanks! I was looking for this comment 🙂
It definitely tastes diffrently.
It's not the same . It's a lot easier of course 😜 Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷😊
OMFGG That baklawa looks soooooo good
Her « so good » is incredible
This is a complicated dessert to make so this is a great hack thank you
To make it even tastier and aromatic in flavor you have to put some ground cinnamon and ground cloves in the sugar and pistachio Just a bit
Thats a true greek baklava
Just walnuts instead of pistachio
We put Cardamom seeds which feels also good.
I love this stuff!! I eat this tray everyday!!
Calm down people who cares, some people dont have time to put butter on each sheet. It looks amazing and the world has other problems at this time
I remember the first time I tried this ! I was so unsure of what it was exactly, but oohhh boy, it's wonderful !
It would be helpful if you would explain how many philo dough sheets put on the bottom and also on the top. I've never made baklava, so I have no idea. Thanks.
You need to go to the channel and find the full video. This is only a short they use to get subscribers.
one pack for the bottom and another for the top. you need to lay down individual layers to get a better result tho bc this fast version will not be good.
@@alex0315 no, find a real video from a real Greek person or something 😂 she is NOT making real baklava here.
@@alex0315 thanks!
@@abbyz13 thanks!
Baklava is literally the best Turkish creation ever! The only Greek thing on baklava is just the "peanuts yiinis" that come from the Greek island "yiini". I love baklava so much! 🇬🇷🇹🇷💕🕊
Nah, it’s Greek. You guys ruined baklava.
@@xxxxSOSEXYxxxx I'm Greek lol
Facts upon Facts once in culinary school I had this as a test & I had to be done way faster than I had time for. This saved me 😊
I tried baklava for the first time I had a food truck in Portland. And dear God it was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. I’m a chocoholic so I didn’t think I would love this dessert as much as I did but holy crap it’s like my favorite dessert now. I rarely get to have it because so far that food truck is the only place I haven’t found that serves it And I was only in Portland visiting my dad’s family. I live in California, And I’m not a major city like LA so I have had no luck founding any baklava near me. So even though it seems like a ton of work I am tempted to try making it myself at home just because I miss it so much and don’t wanna wait until I go visit my dad’s family again to have again
Bakllava is a traditional dish in my country
We mainly make it on New years and i can say we make bakllava very different with more effort and time
bc it is better that way. she is not making real baklava and she shouldn’t pretend she is
That should be your trademark, So good. Stay positive!
This looks so good
I made it with this method but it didn't taste good the layers in the middle were weird and soggy not crispy and nice as if you butter each sheet.
"Middle eastern" sweets are on a whole different level. This looks amazing. Only had Baklawa once or twice sadly
@@lsdaukul2945 Ah Ok, I didn't know that. I know they make these in Turkey as well but I don't know where it originated. But I associate it with the middle east somehow. Maybe because I know more people from that area.
I love the way you do it❤ easy and yammy🥹
Like that fact that the butter will soak into the layers wont give baklava its texture
It turns into a piece of dough not a seperate crunchy layer of dough
Like with this "method" you could also add butter to croissant dough and mix it instead of putting it onto the dough and making layers as you should do.
The crossaint would turn into some kinda sweet bread that would be really dense
…this looks dangerously simple. So when I gain 10 pounds I’m blaming you ok? 😂
I would recommend using honey and water instead of simple syrup, because honey gives it a little bit of a specific taste. But otherwise, I think this method definitely thumbs up.
This baclava is not a baclava it's a phyllo sandwich
Don't skip the technics because that's what gives the dish a character
This is why Turkish people make the best baklava
U should prepare "Azerbaijan baklava" also. It's so delicious
@@elifnurakyol5008 Turkish bakhlava is delicious, but Azerbaijan bakhlava is also delicious. Misafirimiz olun tadına bakın 😊🇦🇿🇹🇷

Thank you dear this is gorgeous x
The Greek in me is screaming to have butter on every layer 😭
What is up with your race? It is not your traditional dessert? Lol
@@Lena-de2ws I didn’t say it was, but I’m not getting into this here x
As an Albanian. my mother and grandma's make bakllava and everyone i know Know how to make bakllava,But for us? It takes 1 and a half days to make it. We make it the tradicional way for generations and generations.Im 12 and hopefully someday i learn how to make it!❤
Looks gorgeous
My grandma might not have liked you for this. Haha. I might have to try it. We always use walnuts.
Nah, I’ll stick to the real way. There’s love in every single layer and you can taste it💖
Good for u and ur healthy amount of dopamine 😢
Jus do it right the extra work is part of what makes it such a beautiful dessert.
The best food is made with love, that means brushing every layer... I've had it both ways and it's not the same
as a turk i agree that it is beyond amazing
Its never the same as grandmas. Each country, region, and family makes it differently. I love the chewy walnut only. Not too dry not too wet. Real butter. I dnt like the clarified butter taste. 😢😢 God I miss my grandma.
