Happy Pink Saturday everyone! The recipe I'm sharing today is for baklava. It was a tradition to always have baklava at our family gatherings. My grandmother used to make her own dough and if any of you have ever worked with phyllo dough you know how much work that must have been. I taught myself how to make it about two years ago. I cheated and bought already made phyllo dough. The first few times you make it I will admit it's a bit of a challenge. Once you learn the little tricks it's not hard and it's worth it because it's so yummy! The most important thing to remember is to not answer the phone or the door! You have to keep working or the dough will crumble! Remember no interruptions and you will do just fine!

Happy Baking!

Hi Denise,
ReplyDeleteI love baklava. I've never made it though. The idea of making Phyllo from scratch makes me want to run and scream. LOL That's what I call a labor of love for sure. ♥
Have a wonderful {pink} day,
Stephanie ♥
I Loooooooove your Baklava Hanny.
ReplyDeleteHi Denise
ReplyDeleteI love Baklava. When I was a teenager and on my own, I found a place called the Astoria bakery on Bloor St. in Toronto. It was owned by a Greek family. They had the most divine Bakalava I have ever eaten. Your post brings back lovely memories. Thank you and have a very Merry Pink Christmas.
