Critical Success Points

  • Toast and peel the hazelnuts before grinding them into powder.
  • Layer the phyllo sheets, buttering each layer.
  • Cut the baklava before baking to prevent deformation.
  • Pour the hot syrup over the hot baklava to ensure proper absorption.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven (180 °C) with kitchen gloves.
  • Boiling syrup can cause burns; pour it carefully.
  • Use a very sharp knife for cutting to avoid slipping.
