Baklava, Iran flaky dessert

Here is a video showing how flaky dessert Baklava is prepared before ending up in the oven.

The dangerously delicious dessert is filled with finely chopped nuts and sweetened with syrup or honey.

 To say the least, It was one of the most popular sweet pastries in Iran and the Middle East.

The phyllo (fillo) dough should be shaped into wide strips and cut diagonally to look like diamonds.

The dessert is best baked without skimping on melted butter or any syrup so as to avoid very dry layers.

If the video has worked up your appetite, you can fancy up your meal with this amazing dessert.
