lightbulb_outline Tips
- Make sure to brush each layer of phyllo dough with melted butter to ensure it gets crispy and golden brown.
- Let the baklava cool completely before serving to allow the honey syrup to soak into the layers of phyllo dough.
- Feel free to substitute the walnuts and almonds with other nuts that you prefer.
