Let's see how to make a nice Turkish baklava with the advice of experienced hosts.

The most important secret of all cakes is choosing the right flour. The second trick is the eggs - an hour before use we have to wait for them to warm up at room temperature.

The third secret is salt. Dough that does not contain salt does not rise, so if we make desserts, we need to add a little salt.

The final material for baklava is starch, which easily opens the dough. When we open the dough, we must make sure that you work in a cool room without sun.

The final touch of the baklava is added with the syrup. When the syrup is not made correctly, it crystallizes and therefore the beautiful desserts we work with do not retain their original taste. Baklava with less dough it should be with a little syrup, otherwise it becomes dough.

Another important point is the oiling. After melting the butter, simmer for three to five minutes and apply hot oil to each floor without leaving room.

The recipe for the original baklava

For the dough:

2 eggs

1 cup butter

1 cup yogurt

1 tablespoon vinegar

half a teaspoon of salt

4.5 tsp flour

1 teaspoon of starch for rolling

2, 5 tsp ground walnuts

For the top:

125 grams of butter

For the syrup:

3 tsp sugar

3 v.voda

half a lemon (small lemon)

Preparation:

First, knead a soft dough with the ingredients of the dough. Divide the dough into 36 pieces. Wrap everything in a towel and let it rest for 20 minutes. Roll out the marshmallows with starch - roll out 6 marshmallows like a small plate and put everything in one and roll out one big sheet. That is - from 36 small you will get 4 peels.

Spread the dough slightly by pressing it lightly with your hand - this method is done so that the dough does not slip out quickly. Then use a rolling pin to distribute the dough to the size of the pan and place it in the pan.

Do the same with everything and place the walnuts in the middle.

Open the other group of 6, from which one is obtained, sprinkle with walnuts.

Cut the dough into a diamond or a square or, as I say, the sun. Melt the melted butter and pour over baklava.

Then bake the original Turkish baklava in a preheated 180 degree oven until golden brown.

For the syrup:

Put sugar, water, lemon juice in a saucepan and open the bottom of the stove. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Do not put the lemon peel, squeeze the lemon juice for 10 minutes before removing from the heat. Once the syrup starts to boil, reduce the heat and cook for exactly 30 minutes.

Once the baklava has cooled a bit, pour in the syrup. Wait at least 4 hours before serving crispy baklava to your guests.

Enjoy your meal!
