Servings: 20 pieces

Keywords: Pastry

Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hours 15 mins

Ingredients

Instructions

Ingredients

½ pound Phyllo Dough
8 ounces Toasted and chopped Bridges Bros USA pecans
1 ⅓ cups Maple Syrup, for soaking the layers
5 ½ ounces Butter, melted, for brushing the phyllo sheets
2 ⅓ teaspoons Cinnamon, to enhance the nutty aroma
½ teaspoons Cloves, to enhance the nutty aroma
1 lemon Lemon Zest, adds brightness
1 pinch Salt, to balance sweetness (optional)

Instructions

Thaw the Phyllo Dough: Overnight in the fridge. Trim it to fit your baking dish (an 8-inch square pan for this recipe).
Toast the Pecans: Spread Bridges Bros USA pecans on a baking sheet. Toast at 350°F for 10 minutes to enhance their flavor. Pulse them with the cinnamon and cloves in a food processor.
Layer the Phyllo Sheets: Brush the baking dish with melted butter. Place the first phyllo sheet in the bottom. Brush with butter and add the next sheet. Stack 10 sheets for the bottom layer, brushing in between. Spread ⅕ of the chopped nut mixture on top.
Repeat the Layers: Add another phyllo sheet and brush with butter. Stack 5 sheets this time. Spread out ⅕ of the nuts again. Continue alternating phyllo and nuts until you've used all the nuts.
Top Layer: Finish with a final layer of phyllo (about 10 sheets). Brush each sheet with melted butter.
Cut into Diamonds: Use a sharp knife to cut through the layers, creating diamond shapes.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until golden brown.
Make the Maple Syrup Soak: Combine equal parts maple syrup and water (e.g., ½ cup each). Add a touch of lemon zest. Heat until warm.
Pour the Syrup: When the baklava comes out of the oven, pour the warm syrup evenly over the top. Let it cool completely before serving.
