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.

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'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!

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.

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!!

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.

Hello! I found this video here after seeing your KZfaq 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!
