Ingredients:
For the Baklava:
1 package of phyllo dough
1 cup of melted butter
2 cups of ground pistachios
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
For the Syrup:
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of water
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Baklava:
To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, mix together the ground pistachios and ground cinnamon. Set this mixture aside. Then, take your package of phyllo dough and lay it out flat on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough to fit the size of your baking dish. Once the dough is cut, cover it with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.
2. Assemble the Baklava:
Take one sheet of phyllo dough and place it into the bottom of your baking dish. Brush the dough with melted butter. Repeat this process until you have used half of the phyllo dough sheets. Then, sprinkle half of the pistachio and cinnamon mixture over the top of the dough. Continue layering the remaining phyllo dough sheets, brushing each one with melted butter. Finally, sprinkle the remaining pistachio and cinnamon mixture on top.
3. Bake the Baklava:
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. While the baklava is baking, prepare the syrup.
4. Make the Syrup:
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat and let the syrup simmer for 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the heat and let it cool.
5. Soak the Baklava:
Once the baklava is finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, pour the cooled syrup over the top of the hot baklava. Let it sit for at least 4 hours, or overnight, so that the syrup can fully soak into the layers of phyllo dough.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Cut the baklava into small squares and serve on a platter. This delicious treat is best enjoyed with a cup of hot tea or coffee. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
In just a few simple steps, you can create a delicious and authentic Lebanese pistachio baklava that will impress your friends and family. The combination of crunchy phyllo dough, buttery pistachios, and sweet syrup makes this dessert a true delight for the taste buds. Give this recipe a try and experience the rich and flavorful taste of Lebanese cuisine.
