Baklava is a dessert that has been enjoyed for centuries. It is believed to have originated in the Ottoman Empire, and it is now popular in many countries around the world. The traditional way to make baklava is to use phyllo dough, which is a very thin dough that is made from flour, water, and salt. The phyllo dough is then layered with a filling that is made from chopped nuts, spices, and honey. The baklava is then baked until the crust is golden brown and the nuts are toasted.
