[MrFGunadi]

wow Mrs. Titli.. wow..

[bonzetto85]

Hi Titli! Some people say that Baklava is a Greek recipe, other that it is a Turkish recipe!

What do you think about it? Thanks! You rock!!!

[TitliNihaan]

@bonzetto85 I don't actually care too much where it comes from. The fact is that it is made and enjoyed in many countries. I care more about making and eating good baklava :-)

[bonzetto85]

@TitliNihaan Y agree with you Titli! You are a great international chef! You care and you do such good food!

[MrEmretti]

@TitliNihaan beaware ! cuz greeks are stealing our culture . i dont care what do u europeans think about baklava. i ve been in UK and biritish knew baklava was greek :D never mind. greek can steal baklava from türks ! but cant steal taste of baklava from türks ! just try antep style baklava ... before forgot last year we sold baklava to greece for 5 mil dollar. and baklava is coming from bakla ... it is turkis word not greek ...

[TitliNihaan]

@MrEmretti No-one is stealing your culture. Didn't the Ottomans impose their culture on a large part of Europe? If British people think Baklava is Greek it must be because the Turks are poor at marketing their culture to the rest of the world. No?  That's a pity because you have a great culture...

[iSlash96]

@bonzetto85 Baklava is actually Ottoman, but it isn't sure wich people made it first, the Turks or the Greeks. but it was sure Ottoman

[cotyora525252]

@bonzetto85 it is absolutely turkısh recipe and you can see baklava markets ın every city of turkey .and there are many kinds of baklava. but you should taste it wıth a couple of hot turkish tea :-)

[TitliNihaan]

@cotyora525252 You can buy baklava all over the former Ottoman empire, not just Turkey.

[jas1453]

@bonzetto85 check to wikipedia for baklava. its simple..

Baklava (play /ˈbɑːkləvɑː/ or /bɑːkləˈvɑː/;[1] Ottoman Turkish باقلوا) is a rich, sweet pastry made of layers of filo pastry filled with chopped nuts and sweetened with syrup or honey. It is characteristic of the cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire and much of central and southwest Asia.

[ayberksoylu]

@bonzetto85

I really do not understand why Greeks are adsorbing Turkish culture in their life,and trying to expose it to the world.

Let me make it clear. Gaziantep is 1000km away to Istanbul and the best place to eat Baklava is Gaziantep in he world.As far as I know Greeks never lived there during Ottoman time.Baklava is completely Turkish maybe Arabish also.Dolma, is same there are lots of samples.

[TitliNihaan]

@ayberksoylu It has nothing to do with anyone absorbing Turkish culture. Go read a bit of history about the Ottomans...

[sroseize]

asalam alakim, helaymahnoon!!

[athenalovescouture17]

Could you make galadoboureko please? It's my favourite dessert...EVER!! my nan makes it all the time! (were Greek) It is basically a jelly-like custard in filo pastry it's delicious! If you do happen to make it please mention me? My name is Athena! -3

[LindiweZ]

You are hillarious Titli! Keep up the good work, subscribing!!

[nordaky]

Omg, you are brilliant!

[Spicemousey]

Yummy..this looks so good..

[2emotional2]

Okay.. I'm so subscribing... and I'm going to dedicate the rest of the year making your food!

[TitliNihaan]

@2emotional2 Right on!

[inuyashaxx]

It's a good thing baklava takes so much work, otherwise I'd make myself sick, lol. Oh, Titli, I don't know if you've ever tried it, but if you save some nut mixture, you can use the leftover phylo scraps to make little baklava...I dunno what to call them, spring rolls? lol

[SirGeorge8600]

If you really want to be accurate and technical, Baklava is Chinese, not Greek or Turkish. The earliest recipe for it was found in documents from the 13th century Yuan dynasty that consisted of paper thing dough (phylo), honey, nuts, and layered upon eachother.

[seamoscomplices]

I love you dance. But you lost calories, well, I dont things so, because baklava is very higth calories

[seamoscomplices]

I love you dance

[salexlindsay]

Very helpful, thankyou!

[Kanka2023]

You can read the history of Baklava: baklava.hu

[huff536]

i watched this for the dancing.

[zucchina89]

AAAAAAWESOME :D i can't wait for my plane to leave for athens tomorrow

really enjoyed your moussaka/spanakopita/this video :)

[jibbjaboo]

Dont try making baklava at home if your are a novice cook. It is tastier and easier to buy it ready made. Just make sure u find the best baklava maker in town. There are many different types of baklava, my personal opinon is that the turkish one is the best.

The origin of the baklava is from the turcic seldjuk tribe, and baklava was spread throughout the ottoman empire to the many different ethnic groups. Hence the great diversity if baklava.

[TitliNihaan]

@jibbjaboo If people want to try to make it at home, and many do because THERE IS NO SHOP NEAR THEM SELLING IT, then I thoroughly recommend they try and make it themselves. It's not difficult.

[jibbjaboo]

@TitliNihaan: thx for the response/recepie. The risk of making a poor Baklava on ready bought filo-pastry is fairly high. Often the filo sheets are just to thick and the Baklava gets "doughy". In most major cities where there is a large turkish diaspora one can find a good baklava maker.

If making baklava home. Baklava tastes best after 1-2 days of resting. Most of the water in the syrup evaporates, the syrup reduces and the baklava gets a creamy bottom-part and crunchy upperhalf. luv from Oz

[Sheecreature]

@TitliNihaan , looks wonderful, there are no shop close to me so i shall be attempting it next weekend, had home made before and it was divine.

Dose not look to difficult, pretty straight forward i think. thanks for uploading.

[fashiondesigner2011]

@jibbjaboo hi this is to titil what r u doing with the left over

[TitliNihaan]

@fashiondesigner2011 Leftover baklava? Sorry, I don't understand ;-)

[RickWize]

Ohhh, my sweet Pakhlava. I'm from Azerbaijan & this is the atribute of our national Cuisine. very good cooking. In Azerbaijan Pakhlava cooking in NOVRUZ Holiday (Our new year). In march 20-21. Welcome to Azerbaijan.

[Elurien]

@jibbjaboo You'll never learn if you don't try. :o

[francoisancebou]

@jibbjaboo I'm sorry but there's not much baklava to take out in Buenos Aires... hahahah :p

[2emotional2]

@jibbjaboo My friend is Turkish and they make theirs at home.. so one could always learn with practice. It's bad to discourage people from trying to make it.

[KatZahra]

What a lovely woman!!! :D But the whole process is kinda off putting... its too lengthy!! Don't get me wrong, I love Baklava as much as the next guy, but it seems to require a certain amount of patience that I don't have.. :(

[TitliNihaan]

@KatZahra I agree - It's not a 5-minute job!

[saritajakhere]

You are so freaking adorable. I love you and your recipes.

[zibaroy]

Great video thanks a lot

[ZekaChi]

Oooh, lovely!

Next time we make baklava, I'm going to suggest using some of those 'optional' spices to my mother.

We usually "roll" the into triangles.

Your blog is cool, too.

[sohan181]

hi

if i wanna make this a day ahead do i have to put it in the fridge or they can be a room temperature?

thanks

[TitliNihaan]

@sohan181 They can be at room temperature

[nothingleft777]

[barbaros45]

well done !!

[AyitaZuleikaReyes]

Greetings from Washington, D.C. I love your accent!!!! Thank your for the recipe!

[fam6ali]

Thanks for this video.

[SexyRolex]

I am fed up of seeing Turks and Greeks arguing on these youtube comments. It gets old! They are now both great countries. Get a grip. Nationalism just teaches you how to hate people you never met and argue over history you personally had no part in whatsoever

[Vleesball]

I love you <3

but this desert is to sweet for me, i tried it as a child, i was a weird child.

[01buckfarack]

I'm glad I watched this video. Iron Chef Michael Symon has an Eastern Europe version that has diced apples in the filling. I can't wait to try this recipe, applying the helpful hints shown on this video.

[leoniekaya]

love this, poli orea!! eufxaristo poli!!

groets leonie netherlands

[Tenifus]

Is this something I could make and then save and eat it a different day & it still be good?

[TitliNihaan]

@Tenifus Absolutely!

[manque15]

This is one of my all time favourite foods, but here in Australia they charge a fortune for one slice...around $4.50 so Im off to buy some pastry and nuts ty ^_^

[MyYattara61]

ist schön geworden,die türkische küche ist wirklich riesig,vielleicht die grösste weltweit

[kathrin149]

I`ve tried this receipe 2 times so far and both times it was fantastic! My friends from Turkey even asked where I bought it! Thank you for showing us how to do Baklava :-)

[meri791]

Can we just make it with only pistachios thanks so much!

[TitliNihaan]

@meri791 Sure.

[skyninjakiller]

ise elinas?

[miawmoon]

what's with you woman put some Turkish rather than Greek music it doesn't make sense at all !??

[JimmyTheGreek2000]

@miawmoon

What is wrong with the Greek Music?

After all we made BAKLAVA well-known around the GLOBE !!!

[Valerinaisback]

BAKLAAAAAAAVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAA. <3

[cattitta0087]

jajaja what an adorable lady, I wish my grandma was alive.. ) =

[gabbydadiva]

Bakllava is the most delicious thing in the world!! Very tedious to make but worth it in the end!

[UZMANSAN]

baklava turkish dessert dude not greece , please change the music

[guzel85]

I love the dessert but that woman dance like a silly.

[gacowboy1986]

I tried this with a different recipe, but the syrup was way to thick and sticky, how can I keep my syrup thin?

[TitliNihaan]

@gacowboy1986 The thickness will depend upon the concentration of sugar in the syrup. More sugar = thicker syrup.

[darya1jp]

khodahafezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[liesbeth718]

thank you for this recipe, we made it and it became really beautiful, just right! we thought that the lemon juice in the syrup was too much though, so we won't do that again, thanks again!

[JakesNintendo]

Thank you for teaching me how to make this! I'm Armenian and it's a really common dessert we eat at parties, although we usually buy the store-made kind and i've always wanted to try making it!

[Candylashes]

Looks so yummy and you are charming!! :))

[HaidauDan]

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM......I love Baklava !!!

[MovieForce]

Thumbs up for random dancing cutscenes

[xXZeeeeZXx]

Mi papi makes deees its good; :D

[Afgstyle87]

O-M-G

she's so funny i laught all the day!

[hellinaras1]

Baglava is a sort of Byzantine sweets were famous in those days and special in East area, even the people from Lebanon think its come from their Country, Turkish conquerors took a lot of the customs of Byzantium don’t forget the original Turkish people (Now the most are mixed) were nomads from the Altai Mountains in northern Mongolia so try to find there any sweet like Baglava????

[musclelimit]

does it make it taste any different if we decide where it came from ? (shrugs shoulders, raises eyebrows and wanders off looking for something important to worry about)

[DiivaLah]

You put it on your meny there tourists come and eat , you puted it like greek baklava, lol it's why they are angry, and it's totally normal to be...

[JoHnNyDePp2137]

@DiivaLah i don't think they should be. we greeks are not angry when other people ask as how something is called in greek when even the word they're using for it originates in greek. i thought it was ok when you pointed out that baklava is actually turkish, that's why i agreed with you but i think your whole point of view is wrong

[DiivaLah]

Baklava = Turkish sweet..

[JoHnNyDePp2137]

@DiivaLah indeed. but now it has become a traditional dessert in Greece too. i'm Greek btw

[DiivaLah]

@JoHnNyDePp2137 Yeah you steal it of course, then it can be a tradional for yours lol.

[JoHnNyDePp2137]

@DiivaLah we didn't "steal" it but when baklava was invented Greece was a part of Ottoman empire so it's only natural that it became a part of our culture too. Also there are many sweets similar to baklava which originate from ancient greece and byzantine empire so you can't claim it that strongly as yours

[iWigY]

@DiivaLah Greek/Turkish ..

[John40480]

@DiivaLah baklava=greek sweet ;)

[aldossary4ever]

it's not {baklava} << the right name is ((baklaoa)) ............

thank u

from middle east :)

[jesienna83]

I can't cook, and I don't like Baklava (altough my mother is an expert for it, and she does everything alone, even the dough(pastry?), but I totally LOVE the way you made this video presentation, plus the Sirtaki:))) You are fantastic!!!

[biffman2809]

ooda hafes

i like ur stiki bottum

[nesileri]

As a Turkish, as a granddaughter of a baklava expert, I'm so impressed! What a mastermind practical baklava recipe. Thank you!! Greetings from Turkey, Khuda Hafiz :)

[tontsa911]

Baklava is super yummy!

But it may be even a little too sweet :)

[habeebati1]

...Oh, I guess you did two layers of nuts also. The ONLY thing about the whole thing I don't like is cutting this in the pan. It's necessary I think but I keep thinking that my pan is going to rust up, lol. Again, it's excellent recipe!

[habeebati1]

I ended up making this as you made it, except for I omitted pistachios and upped the other nuts a bit, only because pistachios are impossible to find in my city. It was fantastic and worth the effort. I did actually make two layers of nuts. I think next time I will use a tad less honey and a bit more sugar. The lemon flavor...wonderful touch. Fantastic and I am glad you made this vid! EVERYONE loved it!

[tonyt0ny]

ROFL dances between LOOL and very good tut, looks delicious

[hibaali100]

[OtisCallsItGood]

Out of curiosity (okay, it's a debate) butter or rose water?

[trkw0lf]

baklava" may come from the Mongolian root baγla- 'to tie, wrap up, pile up' composed with the Turkic verbal ending -v; baγla- itself in Mongolian is a Turkic loanword

[relussier]

Lol. You're Wizzy Toy!

[waffiki]

[habeebati1]

I can't WAIT to try to make this tonight! I love Baklava and it cannot be purchased around here. Some bakeries have never even HEARD of it! Unfortunately pistachios are not easy to find unless shelled, so I may have to omit. Thank you for sharing this video, I have watched many today and decided this one seems best!

[Thebarginator]

[TheKingOfRuckus]

I love Baklava, but have a tough time making it. I'll try this recipe sometime.
