Baklava (Baqlaawe) بقلاوة
Baklava is a dessert to be experienced. It has an amazing combination of textures that is sure to please. The paper-thin layers of filo pastry are flaky and crisp while the nut filling is sweet and chewy. Addictive.
We used our homemade filo pastry that makes the baklava taste infinitely better than those made with store-bought, frozen filo dough.

Dear A&L,
You won’t believe, but it’s the truth that I’m writing a comment for a food blog the first time. You are a great couple with fabulous interests.countless number of food blogs are around, but I should say xawaash is the best in it’s simple presentation, excellent in recipes, and I have no words to put together more to appreciate your skills.I will be so honored if you have a moment to drop a mail to my inbox.Me and my hubby always loved to taste baklava, and we buy it from the best arabic sweet shops, when we were in Bahrain.Now we live in Dubai.So glad to find the best recipe for this crispy sweet.
Regards,
Shi

I have questions would like to ask you. I notice that you guys stopped posting stuff up here, so are you guys going to close the website and if so when because I will print all the recipes. please please don’t stop posting. I know you guys are busy with the new restaurant.
This recipe is great great but I have a couple of questions?
1. Do the nuts have to be untoasted and are yours salted or no?
2.what do my fill sheets stick to each other? Do you have any suggestion for me?
