If there is one thing that most cuisines of the world have in common, it has to be the trend towards desserts. These sugary treats will tempt our taste buds and provide a sweet finish to our meals. From Mexico’s Churros to Italy’s Tiramisu, there are a number of global desserts that have become favorites. One such dessert is the delicious Baklava from the Middle East. Baklava is a staple dessert in Turkish cuisine, and it is basically a layered pastry made by baking in the oven sweetened with sugar syrup or honey. The flaky layers of the pastry include crushed dried fruit and plenty of butter inside – this makes it a delightful treat for festivals like Eid.
Recently, food blogger Amar Sirohi (@foodieincarnate) posted a short clip on how to actually make the famous Baklava. The video went viral on YouTube in just a few days. Watch:

Baklava Jobs has garnered 2.5 million views and continues to grow. It also comes in at number eight among the most trending videos on YouTube India.
In the short clip, the blogger explains Baklava’s behind-the-scenes process. He says that the Turkish favorite is made with very smooth Maida first rolls. This creates up to 70 layers or more in the pastry, giving it the brand’s signature crispy crust. Then each Maida sheet is lined in a baking tin with dried fruit and cleaned avocado or Ghee. Baklava is toasted and shredded with sugar syrup and added dried fruit, and served fresh!
