Baklava is a popular confectionery product of eastern peoples such as: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Uzbekistan, Turkey. This dessert is made of several layers of dough, layered on top of each other, like sheets of paper, which are abundantly sprinkled with grated walnuts between these "sheets".
It is necessary
- - 800 g of finished puff pastry;
- - the yolk of 1 chicken egg;
- - 100 g butter (butter);
- - 1 tablespoon of cinnamon;
- - 2 cups of walnut kernels;
- - 1 cup (fine) sugar or powdered sugar.
Instructions
Step 1
Grind 200 grams of walnut kernels using a meat grinder or ordinary grater. It is better to use a grater, as with this grinding the nuts will be relatively large than when using a meat grinder.
Step 2
Put the resulting nut mixture in a bowl, add fine sugar to it, mix thoroughly. Then add 1 tablespoon of cinnamon to the resulting mass to give your baklava a delicate aroma. Stir the resulting mass.
Step 3
If you are going to use store-bought puff pastry, defrost it, then divide it into 7 equal pieces. After that, sprinkle a lot of flour on the table and roll out the dough into thin layers.
Step 4
Take a baking sheet and brush it with butter. Place one layer of dough on top of it. Spread the nut filling generously on top of the dough. Then, on top of the filling, lay out a layer of dough again. Repeat this procedure with all the remaining layers of dough, but so that in the end the dough is the last (top) layer, and not the nuts.
Step 5
Take the yolk of 1 egg, beat it and sprinkle it liberally on the last layer of dough. Next, make diamond-shaped cuts on the final layer of dough and place the baking sheet in a preheated oven for 40-50 minutes (until a golden brown surface appears). Put the baklava out of the oven, let the dessert cool and serve with tea!
