Baklava

Baklava is a rich, sweet pastry made of layers of thin dough known as phyllo (or filo) pastry, filled with chopped nuts, and sweetened with syrup or honey. The layers of dough are typically brushed with melted butter, creating a flaky texture. Common nuts used in baklava include pistachios, walnuts, and almonds.

Baklava is popular in many Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Balkan cuisines and is often served as a dessert or sweet treat during celebrations and holidays. Its combination of crispy layers, nutty filling, and sweet syrup makes it a beloved delicacy!
