Description

Delight in the layers of flaky phyllo dough and a nutty, sweet filling with these Baklava Rolls. A delicious twist on the traditional baklava, perfect for any dessert table.

Ingredients

Scale

25 sheets phyllo dough about 1/2 box thawed completely

1 cup unsalted butter melted

2 cups powdered sugar divided

2 cups walnuts

1 Tablespoon cinnamon

honey optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a food processor, combine walnuts, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and cinnamon. Pulse until finely chopped.
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush with melted butter. Repeat this process for 5 sheets, stacking them on top of each other.
Sprinkle a portion of the walnut mixture along one edge of the dough, then roll it up tightly to form a log.
Place the roll onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining phyllo dough and filling.
Once all baklava rolls are assembled, brush the tops with remaining melted butter and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before drizzling with honey, if desired. Dust with the remaining powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, consider adding chopped pistachios to the walnut filling. Store leftover baklava rolls in an airtight container at room temperature.
