How to Cook Recipes Homemade Baklava using 10 ingredients and 9 steps

Homemade Baklava - I've been making baklava for years. This is a great recipe for Baklava! I had phyllo dough that had been in the freezer for a while and was starting to dry out, so I decided to make this recipe. Even though it was quite difficult to work with dried out dough, the end result was fabulous. Flaky & crispy on top with yummy sweet layers in the middle.
