Baklava is a popular sweet pastry that originated in the Ottoman Empire and has since become a beloved treat around the world.

It is made of layers of phyllo dough, a paper-thin pastry dough, and filled with chopped nuts, typically walnuts or pistachios, and sweet syrup.

This delectable dessert has a crispy, flaky texture on the outside, while the inside is filled with a nutty and sweet filling that melts in your mouth.
