Description
Pistachio Baklava Rolls are a delightful fusion of flaky pastry and rich, nutty filling. Each bite offers a satisfying crunch followed by a sweet, honey-infused flavor that lingers on the palate, making them an irresistible treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the Baklava:
- 1 package of phyllo dough (16 oz), thawed
- 2 cups unsalted pistachios, finely chopped
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- For the Syrup:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix the chopped pistachios with ground cinnamon.
- Unroll the phyllo dough and cover it with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
- Take one sheet of phyllo, brush it with melted butter, and layer another sheet on top. Repeat this for 5 sheets.
- Sprinkle a thin layer of the pistachio mixture over the phyllo.
- Roll the phyllo tightly into a log shape and place it on a greased baking sheet.
- Repeat the process until all the phyllo and filling are used.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with remaining melted butter.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- While baking, prepare the syrup by combining sugar, water, honey, and vanilla in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.
- Once the baklava is done, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the hot syrup over the rolls.
- Let it cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the syrup to soak in.
Notes
- Make-ahead: Baklava can be prepared a day in advance and stored in an airtight container.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place for up to a week. Refrigeration can make the pastry soggy.
- Substitutions: Almonds or walnuts can be used instead of pistachios for a different flavor.
