Baklava is a rich pastry made from multiple layers of thin phyllo dough, filled with crushed nuts—usually pistachios, walnuts, or hazelnuts—and brushed with butter, then baked until golden and soaked in a sweet syrup flavored with lemon juice, rosewater, or orange blossom. Though it exists in many cultures, the version perfected in Ottoman palace kitchens of Istanbul remains the most widespread in Turkey and across the Middle East. Baklava is often served during holidays, weddings, and as a dessert after meals in cafés and restaurants.
