Instruction:
Now that you have prepared the ingredients needed to prepare baklava tabrizi, we need to proceed to the steps of preparing this delicious sweet.
Pay attention that we will first prepare baklava together and then its nectar so that you can finally prepare this dessert in its entirety.
Just be aware that you must follow the steps by step to prepare baklava so that you don’t have any problems during the process and you can prepare baklava easily.
1. Preparation:
First, prepare the necessary ingredients, separate the dough sheets, and cover them so that they do not dry in the open air. Then, turn on the oven at 347 Fahrenheit until it heats up.
Also, prepare a 23×23 mold and grease it with butter because the baklava does not stick to it. If needed, you can also use grease-proof paper.
2. Preparation of baklava layers:
First, fold a sheet of dough to the size of the mold and place it inside the mold. Then grease it, add another layer, and do this for about four layers until it gets a little thicker.
Then, grind the walnuts into small particles with a chopper. Sprinkle two to three tablespoons of walnuts on each layer, place another layer on top of it, and continue doing this for about two to three layers.
Cover the last layer of walnut powder with another sheet of dough, spread it with butter, and continue until the last layer, placing it on top of each other.
3. Baking baklava:
Now that you have put the baklava into the mold and prepared it, it is time to cut the baklava. For this purpose, using a sharp knife, cut the baklava into squares or rhombuses so that they are completely separated and you can easily separate them from each other after cooking.
After cutting, place the mold in the preheated oven and give it time until it becomes completely golden, and then you can take it out of the oven.
Of course, check every few minutes to make sure the baklava doesn’t burn and doesn’t taste bad.
4. Preparation of baklava syrup:
In the fourth step of preparing baghlava tabrizi, we have to prepare baklava syrup until the baklava is ready in the oven. To do this, pour sugar and water into a suitable pot and place it on a low flame until it boils and the sugar dissolves completely in the water.
Then, dissolve saffron in a very small amount of hot water and add it to the same ingredients. In the next step, add grated cardamom to this mixture and leave it for about 15 minutes to boil and get a suitable concentration.
Finally, add rose water, boil for a minute, and then remove from the flame.
After removing from the flame, pour two drops of fresh lemon juice into it and let the syrup cool completely.
5. Making baklava:
At this stage, when the baklava is completely cooked, take them out of the oven and after they cool down a bit, immediately pour the nectar on them so that it goes well with the baklava and gives them a unique taste.
To decorate the baklava, you can pour coconut powder or pistachio powder on them put them in a suitable dish, and serve.
Notes :
- Prepare the nectar when the baklava is cooling (it is better if it is not hot but almost cooled).
- After it is ready, pour the nectar on the baklava before it cools to penetrate the pastry’s texture.
- Pour the nectar on the baklava so that it spreads everywhere. This prepares the baklava for serving.
