Rolled Baklava Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

Rolled Baklava is a traditional Middle Eastern dessert made with layers of flaky phyllo pastry, sweetened nuts, and a fragrant syrup. This indulgent treat is known for its rich flavors and delicate texture. The phyllo pastry is brushed with butter and filled with a mixture of finely chopped nuts, such as pistachios or walnuts, and a hint of cinnamon. Once rolled, the baklava is baked until golden and crispy, then drizzled with a sweet syrup made with honey, lemon juice, and rosewater. It is a delightful dessert that is perfect for special occasions or as a sweet ending to a meal.
