Baklava is a sweet pastry made with layers of phyllo dough, nuts, and honey syrup. It is a popular dessert in many Middle Eastern and Mediterranean countries. The phyllo dough is layered with a mixture of finely chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pistachios, and then baked until golden and crispy. Once baked, the baklava is soaked in a sweet syrup made with honey, sugar, and lemon juice. The syrup adds moisture and sweetness to the pastry, making it irresistibly delicious.
