Baklava sweet, the name as well as the taste essentially radiates something unique and exquisite. The sweet dish Baklava is synonymous with the Middle East and Mediterranean regions. In the present times, Baklava from Turkey is indeed a common knowledge for everyone but the origin of this sweet delicacy is a topic of strong debate. Some vote of Greece while others vote for Turkey. But the fun part is that both these countries share a long history of making, innovating as well as enjoying Baklava sweet.

Many are of the opinion that Baklava was developed first in Persia and this is because the ‘va’ from ‘Baklava’ is Persian. History is proof that Greece, Rome, and Persia all mixed with one another at a certain point in time and thus it is very natural that Baklava has origins in the Middle East as a whole. Ultimately what is most fascinating is the way the Turkish- Greek sweet is loved and well accepted by people all over the world. And now it is available in the ‘City of Joy’- courtesy Dunkel braun.

Types of Baklava

Dunkel Braun primarily offers three types of Baklavas– Rolls, Tarts, Pyramids.

Baklava Roll

Baklava Rolls are a unique Dunkel Braun creation which, as the name suggests are shaped in roll form.

Is Baklava sweet Veg?

Yes, 100%. Baklava sweet is 100% a vegetarian dish with the goodness of nuts and mind it, the whole thing is baked and not fried. We are living in such a time where health is considered the biggest wealth and each one of us is trying to eat healthily and live better. But in the process of eating healthy, at times we also end up craving some outside food, some sweets dishes, and some ‘unhealthy’ snacks. This breaks our routine and we end up gorging on more than is needed. Then we go on a guilt trip and the whole fun factor goes away!

Dunkel braun decided to take care of this issue because for them the customer’s wish and preference are always the first priority. Thus, they came up with this unique Baklava sweet that can be enjoyed by both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Right from scratch if you have a look at the ingredient list, you will see that every item falls in the category of ‘veg’. Many other recipes of Baklava sweet use an egg wash while sticking the phyllo sheet but here in Dunkel braun we simply use water. So, it is perfectly safe for vegetarians to eat it.

Never before we have come across a sweet dish that can be had without any guilt or worry. The nuts have good amount of vitamins and minerals, the phyllo sheet is extremely thin and baked not fried so there is no risk of too many carbs, the syrup can be very well made from honey or jaggery which is a healthier substitute to sugar.

Baklava sweet recipe

The one ingredient which is needed in abundance to prepare Baklava sweet is – Love for desserts! Apart from that, we need nuts like almonds, walnuts, pistachios, peanuts, melted butter, cinnamon powder, sugar, honey, water, lemon juice, lemon zest, and phyllo sheets. The process begins by mixing all the items to make the filling. Some almond, walnut, pistachio powder, sugar, and cinnamon powder along with a dollop of butter are to be taken in a mixing bowl. Mix all the items gently and keep them aside. Now comes the part that needs skills. The phyllo sheets need to be folded into half and then butter is to be applied to the sheet which is facing upwards.

On the baking sheet the baklavas of your desired shape should be placed seam side down. There must proper distance between Baklavas so that each gets baked properly. Take some mixture, put it on the sheet, and start rolling. Do not forget to apply butter on the side which is rolled up already. Make sure to fill the filling even after the halfway rolling is done.

This way you get the onrush of fillings in every bite, every layer of the Baklava. Now cut the sheets into the shapes you want and put them on the baking tray. Brush them with butter and put them in the 180 C preheated oven. Allow the whole thing to bake for 15-20 minutes and when you see the colour turning to a golden brown, you know magic has been made.

The final step is to dunk the Baklava into the syrup which is made by boiling either honey or sugar with some lemon juice. Once the tasty Baklavas are dipped into the syrup for about four to five hours garnish them with your favorite nuts and enjoy!
