For the Baklava Rolls

  • 1 package phyllo dough Can substitute with puff pastry, though texture will differ.
  • 2 cups walnuts, finely chopped Pistachios or almonds can be used as alternatives.

  • 1 cup honey Maple syrup can be used as a vegan alternative.
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon to make the filling.
  • Layer the phyllo dough by placing a sheet on a baking sheet and brushing with melted butter. Repeat for several layers.
  • Place a line of the walnut filling along one edge of the layered phyllo.
  • Roll the phyllo dough over the filling, tucking in the sides as you go.
  • Brush the top with melted butter and lightly score the top with a knife.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Syrup Preparation

  • In a saucepan, mix the honey, water, and vanilla extract and bring to a boil.

Notes

For best flavor, let the rolls sit overnight in the syrup. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
