| Chopped almonds and pistachios | 0.6 pound |
| Powdered sugar | 0.3 pound |
| Cardamom powder | half a tablespoon |
Syrup ingredients:
| Sugar | 1.1 pound |
| Water | Two glasses |
| Rose water | 1/2 glass |
Ingredients :
| Egg yolk | Two pcs |
| Liquid oil | Three tablespoons |
| Baking powder | half a teaspoon |
| Milk | 1/2 glass |
| Butter | 3.5 ounce |
| Salt | as needed |
| Rose water | 1 tbsp |
| White flour | as needed |
instruction:
1. combine almond powder, pistachio, cardamom, and powdered sugar to prepare baklava ingredients.
To prepare baklava yazdi syrup, put a pot on the gas and turn the heat under it. Then combine sugar with water and stir on heat until it boils.
Let this mixture stay on the gas for 15 minutes until it thickens. Then add rose water to it. If you desire, you can add a little lemon juice.
2. To make yazd baklava dough, dissolve baking powder and salt in cold milk, then add oil and egg yolks and mix well. Sift the flour and slowly add to the ingredients and mix.
Add flour until the dough no longer sticks to your hands. Then, wrap the dough in a plastic or cellophane bag and leave it aside for 1 to 2 hours.
3. In this step of preparing yazd baklava, first turn on the oven at a temperature of 180 degrees Celsius to heat it.
After 2 hours, separate the dough to the size of a tangerine and make it completely thin with a rolling pin. Choose a rectangular metal mold and grease its surface completely with oil.
Put the thin sheet of dough into the mold. Then, prepare another thin layer of dough and place it on top. After the second layer, it is time to add a little inner ingredients in the middle of the baklava.
Pour the ingredients inside the baklava you have prepared in advance and press a little with your hands. Then sprinkle a little rose water and place another layer of thin dough on it.
At the end, cut the sides of the dough according to the mold and separate them with a knife.
4. cut the baklava dough slowly into a rhombus shape in this recipe step. Now heat the butter and pour it on the pastry with a brush.
After the butter is absorbed, place it in the lower part of the oven. After the surface of the baklava becomes a little golden, turn off the oven’s heat and remove the baklava.
Now, slowly pour the syrup you prepared on the baklava until they are completely absorbed. Pour pistachio powder on them, and after cooling down, cut them again and eat them.
To prepare your baklava faster, you can absorb the stage of making baklava dough by preparing baklava with yufka dough.
Baklava, which has a place in the cuisine of many nations, is also embraced by many nations. Over time, it took its current form in Topkapı Palace . [5] There are three theories about how today’s baklava, which was first made in Topkapı Palace, originated. The first of these is that it derives from the placenta cake in Roman cuisine (later Byzantine cuisine).

This Persian baklava, along with Haji Badam and Baslogh, are the best Iranian sweets to serve with Iranian tea.
Notes :
- For the intermediate ingredients of baklava, you can use ground walnuts, almond powder, pistachio powder, or a combination of all of them as you wish.
- Make sure the syrup is cold, and the baklava is warm. If both are warm, the baklava will be doughy; if they are cold, they will not be absorbed.
- Place the almonds in the freezer before grinding. This will prevent the almonds from releasing oil.
