Instructions
1
To begin making Turkish Baklava formula From Scratch, prepare the made from scratch phyllo sheet first. *Making of Phyllo sheet:pulse all purpose dusting perfumed element, table salt, olive cooking oil & lemon liquid together in a mixing dish.Take mildly hot liquid and mix in it to dusting perfumed element mixture gradually until it forms even flour base.
2
Let it stand for atleast an hour.After an hour, divide the flour base into two & make about 16 small balls from each & scatter some starch mixture over them.Take one of the balls & roll it out as thin as you can, with the help of a rolling pin.
3
(My baking tray was of 14 cm circular tray so I rolled out phyllo sheet to completely fit in the baking tray.
4
You can measure it as per your requirement and roll the sheets)Your hand should be visible through the sheet when it is completely rolled out.
5
scatter some starch mixture over it and put it aside covering it with a damp towel.Roll out other balls in the same way and put them on the each other sprinkling the starch mixture between their layers.
6
Keep phyllo sheets covered with a damp towel.*Nuts mixture:Put nuts in a food processor and pulse until they are coarsely grounded.
7
mix in granulated sugar and grounded cinnamon to it and pulse.
8
Keep aside*Assembling of Baklava:Preheat the oven at 180C. Brush baking tray with shortening.Place 10 phyllo sheets into baking tray one at a time, brushing each sheet with shortening.Spread 1/3 cup of nuts mixture over layered phyllo sheets.Now again place 6 layers of phyllo sheets in to baking tray at a time, brushing each sheet with shortening.
9
This time brush it gently or just splash shortening so that nutty layer doesn’t get disturbed.Again spread 1/3 cup of nuts mixture and place 6 layers of phyllo sheets applying shortening in between the layers.Spread 1/3 cup of nuts mixture and place the last 10 layers of phyllo sheets applying shortening in between layers.
10
Brush top layer with shortening gently.Now use a thin & sharp knife to cut it in to square or diamond shape pieces.
11
This step is very important because if you skip it, you can’t get flawless pieces once it is baked.toast this in preheated oven at 180C for 10 mins and then at 170C for 20 mins and at 140C for 30 mins.
12
CHeck with your oven settings since each oven differs in its heating capabilities.*Making of Honey syrup:In the meantime when the baklava is baking, make honey syrup.Take all the ingredient for honey syrup in a condiment dip cooking vessel & bring it to heat to boiling point, then let it bubble gently for 20 – 30 mins until it gets soft ball consistency.Take baklava from the oven once done & empty honey syrup over it generously.scatter some nuts mixture over it. Let it cool for about 30 mins before serving.
13
You can dish up it mildly hot or cold.dish up Turkish Baklava formula From Scratch as a dessert after a scrumptious sandwich like Chicken Sandwich With honeyed Corn and Tandoori Potato Wedges formula with friends and family on a weekend.
