Hi everyone, not too long ago we went out and I saw baklava with Nutella. We tried it and it was very tasty.
So I asked the waiter how they make it and he told me. So today we made Baklava with Nutella for the very first time. It turned out excellent for the first time and the children loved it.
INGREDIENTS
1 packet of pastry
400 grams of ground walnuts
100 grams of chops up walnuts
3 coffee cups of Nutella
500ml water
1 lemon
5 tablespoons of honey
3 coffee mugs of sugar
1 butter
Step 1
Get the children to ground the walnuts :)
Step 2
Melt your butter and then take 6 layers of pastry, baste them one by one and place them on top of each other.
Step 3
Then take 1 coffee cup of Nutella and spread it out evenly over the pastry
Step 4
Sprinkle the ground walnuts evenly over the Nutella
and then sprinkle lightly the cut walnuts over the ground walnuts. (don't overdo it with the cut ones)
Step 5
Then roll it up and repeat steps 1 to 5 until you have filled the baking tray.
Then cut it up before baking, into 3 to 4 cm pieces and then pour the rest of the melted butter over it.
After this, place into a preheated oven at 180 degrees celsius and bake for 30 minutes, after 30 minutes reduce the oven temperature to 150 degrees celsius and bake for a further 20 minutes.
Step 6
While it is baking, take the water and sugar, cook it, when the sugar melts, add the honey and lemon.
This needs to cook on a light flame, maybe medium depending on stove.
Cook for about 30 minutes until you get a nice thick syrup.
Step 7
This should be finished about the same time as the pastry in the oven, then pour this all over the baklava and let it "swim/float" in it.
Then cover with aluminium foil and let it cool down.
This is what we get after it cools down!
I made the Nutella Baklava for the children and then made a normal baklava just for me and my mum.
I will post this recipe for traditional baklava the next time I make it. I use the recipe that my grandmother gave me, my mum does not make baklava.
I hope you try this recipe it is very tasty and my children all say that it is SUPER!
Thank you for reading.
