This is the BEST baklava recipe, I don't have enough good things to say about it. It made a LOT of baklava, that lasted forever even though no one could get enough of it. Everyone raved that it was just like what you get at a gourmet bakery, and they could not believe that I had never once attempted this before. I highly reccommend reading more reviews here, because some more experienced bakers had really great tips that helped a lot, like, knowing not to cut all the way to the bottom and not oversaturate the layers with butter to prevent sogginess. I have to say, having those detailed tips made me feel very confident with this recipe, even though everyone told me baklava was one of the hardest things to make. I sincerely disagree, this recipe is proof!
