What is a baklava?

Answer 1

Phyllo dough is used for baklava. It's yeast free bread dough that's worked very thin. Traditionally phyllo was worked hand worked but today there are machines that take out all the hand labor. Phyllo thicknesses range between #4 (thinnest) and #10 (thickest). Might want to look at the kontos company for the best phyllo http://www.kontos.com/. If you want to see some neat pics of phllyo made by hand go to http://www.mansoura.com/ I ordered baklava from there too....very tasty. Hope this info was helpful.
