What is Baklava?

You must taste baklava during your stay in Istanbul. The recipe may sound too easy to be true: chopped nuts are spread in between the phyllo (yufka) layers, dressed with butter, baked and sweetened with syrup or honey. But the excellence depends on the quality of the flour, the thinness of the dough (phyllo) and the proportion of the syrup.

Baklava is a rich, sweet pastry featured in many cuisines of the former Ottoman countries. It is a pastry made of layers of phyllo dough filled with chopped walnuts or pistachios and sweetened with syrup or honey.

"Very Unique"
I’ve never made homemade phyllo pastry dough and would have been intimidated to try on my own. This was a fantastic window into a world I’ve never known. It was a good time.
"Excellent"
A wonderful day. My daughter and I loved the experience from start to finish. We felt part of a Turkish family, learning skills that have been passed down through generations. Hakan acts as the guide and interpreter whilst his mum is your teacher. Both are lovely people. I know that you need longer to become experts - the technique needs a touch beyond us in the time, but we learnt to make the dough, roll out (with lots of help) to paper thin layers, seventy of them, before preparing the Baklava for the oven. And they taste great too. Highly recommend as an experience.
