Thank you for the step by step layout, you made this so easy to replicate. It is very tasty and beautiful. I used pistachios, walnuts and almonds in mine which are a lovely combo. I agree that you could maybe use 1/2 – 2/3 of the syrup and it would be just as tasty and not so sweet. Thanks again.

[...] So, I was in the mood to make my own bread yesterday. It’s a lot easier than it’s made out to be , and cheaper than buying bread at the store. You can make them plain or add any herbs/flavorings you want; I chose honey-oat because I’ve been on a honey kick ever since I made Baklava. [...]

Less sweet?!?! Have you lost your mind, woman?

Thank you! I think it would be good less sweet, with less of the syrup even. Could maybe even just use the syrup as a dipping sauce, instead of pouring it over the whole thing (so you could control the sweetness)? Of course then the baklava itself would not hold together as well when eating, but I think that would be a small price to pay.

I have always loved baklava and have eaten my share. It is so sweet and sticky. I love how the phyllo dough Gershwin so crunchy. I can’t eat it anymore as it seems too sweet to my teeth but I have fond memories of eating it at Greek restaurants and middle eastern restaurants. This looks amazing.

Thank you! While I loved the walnut/almond mix, I think next time I will try all almonds or pistachios to mix it up a bit. Thanks for the idea!
