Baklava with honey

Honey baklava with walnuts is an incredibly delicious dessert that many people want to make themselves. We offer a step-by-step classic recipe for making baklava with honey at home. Be prepared for the fact that it will not be easy to prepare the delicacy, but if you follow all the instructions, you will get a fragrant and juicy sweetness. To prepare the dough, you will need fast yeast - give preference to the highest grade according to GOST. It is better to make baklava with liquid flower honey.

Grease it with butter and sprinkle 1/10 of the filling. Roll out the dough and lay it out, oiling and sprinkling with filling. Seal the edges of the bottom layer on top of the baklava.

Baklava with honey - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! You can use pistachios, almonds, or a mix of nuts for the filling. Just ensure they're finely ground for the best texture.
Store baklava in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for 3 months.
Yes! Replace butter with vegan butter or coconut oil, use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water) instead of the egg, and skip the sour cream or use a dairy-free alternative.
You can slightly reduce the powdered sugar in the filling, but keep in mind it affects texture and sweetness. Alternatively, use a sugar-free sweetener.
Ensure the baklava is hot from the oven when pouring the syrup so it absorbs evenly without becoming mushy. Also, don't over-saturate—just enough to coat.
Yes! The dough can be refrigerated overnight after the first rise. Let it come to room temperature before rolling and assembling.
Serve baklava at room temperature, ideally with coffee or tea. Garnish with extra crushed nuts or a drizzle of honey for extra richness.
For smaller portions, divide the dough into more pieces (e.g., 16 instead of 12). For larger, use a bigger pan but adjust baking time as needed.
Absolutely! Freeze baked baklava in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
Over-kneading or rolling the dough too thick can make it tough. Handle gently and roll layers as thin as possible for flaky results.
