Description
Pistachio Honey Baklava Rolls are a delightful dessert made with layers of flaky phyllo dough, filled with pistachios and drizzled with honey syrup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (16 ounces) phyllo dough (thawed)
- 1 cup unsalted pistachios (finely chopped)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the finely chopped pistachios, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish (approximately 9×13 inches).
- Unroll the phyllo dough and cover it with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.
- Take one sheet of phyllo dough, brush it lightly with melted butter, and place another sheet on top. Repeat this process for about 4–5 sheets.
- Sprinkle a portion of the pistachio filling along one edge of the phyllo dough, leaving a small border.
- Carefully roll the phyllo dough over the filling to create a log shape. Place the rolled baklava seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining phyllo dough and filling.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled baklava into slices about 1–2 inches thick.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
- In a saucepan, combine the honey, water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Once the baklava is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the warm honey syrup over the hot baklava rolls, ensuring they are well coated.
- Allow the baklava to cool completely in the baking dish before serving.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the pistachio filling.
