Instructions

Prepare the Syrup: Combine granulated sugar and water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then add lemon juice and let it simmer for another 10 minutes. Allow the syrup to cool.
Prepare the Phyllo Dough: Lay out the Kral Gıda baklava phyllo sheets on a clean surface. Cover them with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
Prepare the Walnut or Pistachio Filling: Coarsely chop the walnuts. If using Antep pistachios, remove the shells.
Layer the Phyllo Dough: Melt the butter. Grease the baking tray and lay the first phyllo sheet. Brush with melted butter. Repeat this process for each sheet. After every 5-6 sheets, sprinkle a generous amount of walnut or pistachio filling.
Cut and Bake: After layering all the sheets, cut the baklava into squares or diamond shapes using a sharp knife. Drizzle the remaining butter over the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) until golden brown.
Add the Syrup: Remove the baklava from the oven and let it cool. Once cooled, pour the prepared syrup over the baklava. Let it sit for 2-3 hours to absorb the syrup fully.
