ROLLED BAKLAVA
For perfectly flaky phyllo dough, we go to Lili Fable, whose family-owned Poseidon Greek Bakery has made about 75 pounds of it a day since the '20s. This rolled baklava recipe is a must-make for a delicious sweet treat.

Steps:
- Place rack in center of oven, and preheat oven to 325 degrees. Brush a 9-by-9-inch pan with melted butter. Set aside.
- Combine almonds, walnuts, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Place one sheet of phyllo on a flat work surface. Brush with melted butter. Fold the long sides in to form a 9 1/2-by-15-inch rectangle. Brush folded edges with butter. Place a second piece of phyllo over first sheet, and gather it like a curtain to fit inside rectangle. Brush with butter.
- Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the nut mixture over the bottom one-third of the phyllo rectangle. Fold phyllo over to cover nuts. Brush folded phyllo with butter. Spread 1/4 cup nuts in a 1-inch-wide line parallel to, and about 1 inch from, the edge of pastry. Fold over once to cover nuts. Roll like a cigar almost to the end. Fold in ragged edges, and brush them with butter. Finish rolling, and fold ends under. Place seam-side down in prepared pan. Brush with butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling, laying each roll next to the other so they are touching. Cut rolls crosswise into 21 pieces total (drag knife through a second time to assure a clean cut).
- Transfer to oven, and bake until crust and nuts are evenly golden, 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven, and cool for 10 minutes. Pour cool Honey Syrup over pastry; it will come about three-quarters of the way up the sides. Let sit until most of the liquid is absorbed and nuts are saturated, about 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in center. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan. In a small bowl, combine the pistachios, walnuts, apricots, currants, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- On a large clean work surface, stack phyllo sheets; trim long side to measure 15 1/2 inches. Keep remaining phyllo covered with a damp kitchen towel, and then plastic wrap. Lay out 1 sheet of phyllo with long side toward you. Brush generously with butter. Top with a second sheet of phyllo; brush with butter. Sprinkle one-quarter of nut mixture horizontally 1 inch from the bottom edge of phyllo.
- Gently roll up the phyllo, brushing dough occasionally with butter as you roll, to create a long, thin cylinder. Cut cylinder in half, and place the two halves next to each other in prepared pan. Repeat with remaining dough and nut mixture to make three more cylinders, and arrange in same manner in pan. Using a sharp knife, halve logs again, being careful not to disturb them, making 16 cigar-shaped pieces. Bake until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make syrup: In a small saucepan, combine honey with 1/2 cup water. Boil until reduced by one-quarter, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; add lemon juice. Pour into a small bowl; refrigerate until completely cool.
- As soon as you remove baklava from the oven, pour cooled syrup over it to cover evenly. Let baklava cool completely. Drizzle with more honey and garnish with pistachios before serving.
TOPANGA HONEY ROLLED BAKLAVA
Duff Goldman based this recipe for rolled baklava on one from his Moldovan great grandmother. She was an amazing baker and when she made baklava everyone from the neighborhood would come over to enjoy a piece. Instead of spreading the filling over the phyllo, she would make a paste then roll it in the dough, resulting in the most delicious center. To add more crunch and texture to the baklava, Duff sprinkles the phyllo with toasted panko that's sweetened with sugar, yielding flakier layers.

Steps:
- For the honey syrup: Combine the honey, granulated sugar, lemon juice, salt, sliced ginger, anise and 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, for the baklava: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Brush 1 tablespoon of the clarified butter evenly all over a 9-by-9-inch baking pan.
- Melt the 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small saute pan over medium heat. Once melted, add the panko and granulated sugar. Toast, stirring often, for a few minutes until slightly golden. Remove from the heat and transfer to a small bowl.
- Add the dates, raisins, brown sugar, orange blossom water, cinnamon, ground ginger and salt to a food processor and pulse until the dried fruit is finely chopped. Add the almonds and process again until just combined. Transfer to a clean work surface and roll into eight thin 10-inch-long logs.
- Lay one sheet of phyllo onto a clean surface and lightly brush with some of the remaining melted clarified butter. Lay a second sheet of phyllo directly on top of the first, brush with more clarified butter and sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon of the panko mixture. Fold the phyllo sheets in half crosswise; place one of the date logs at the short end of the sheets and begin to roll the dough over the date log, continuing until the entire phyllo sheet has been rolled. You will end up with a phyllo cigar.
- Transfer the cigar to the prepared baking pan and lay horizontally. Brush the top lengthwise with some of the remaining melted clarified butter and repeat the process with the remaining phyllo and date logs. You will need 8 cigars to fill the pan. Brush the baklava with some of the remaining clarified butter once again. Using a sharp knife, slice vertically down in three equal sections, creating twenty-four 3-inch pieces. Bake until the baklava are golden brown, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Baste the baklava with the remaining clarified butter at 30 and 45 minutes into the baking time. Rotate the pan 180 degrees halfway through the baking.
- Strain the solids from the honey syrup and discard. Pour the syrup over the hot baklava immediately after removing from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes to soak up all the syrup.
GREEK BAKLAVA
A Greek favorite that makes everyone think you are a master chef and is sooo easy to make!! I taught a Greek friend how to make apple pie and she taught me this fabulous recipe. The phyllo dough for this recipe is found in the freezer section of most grocery stores. Add a little lemon zest to the sugar sauce, if desired.
