Reviews
This is my first time trying this recipe, I was a bit confused because somehow I had a lot of sheets left, the package comes with two rolls of dough was I suppose to used only one roll?
Yes, I loved this Baklava, it melted in my mouth, smooth all the way to the tummy!
Flavor and texture…treat yourself! Have made this several times exactly as printed EXCEPT used different nuts each time. Apples…always. Try this recipe. Keeper.
