Lazy baklava

topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup almonds
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 1/4 cup chopped dried apricots
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar
  • 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • A pinch of salt
  • 110 g melted butter, in portions
  • 3 tablespoons of honey
  • 12 sheets of filo dough
  • Additional equipment: 12 small muffin tins

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C.

    Place the almonds, walnuts, dried apricots, bread crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt in a food processor. Process until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of melted butter and honey and blend.
  2. Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a dry work surface. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the entire surface with the remaining melted butter. Top the first sheet with a second sheet and brush it with melted butter as well.

    Lay out 6 sheets of dough in this manner. Cut the rectangle of stacked dough sheets into 12 pieces (cut lengthwise into 4 pieces and crosswise into 3 pieces).
  3. Gently press each piece of dough into a muffin liner. Press a tablespoon of the nut mixture into each phyllo shell. Gather the ends of each dough square and fold them over to form a knot. Form the remaining knots using other muffin liner cups.

    Bake until the edges of the dough are golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. When the baklava is cool enough to avoid burning your hands, remove the balls from the molds and transfer them to a serving plate.
