Baklava with Muhallabia

A wonderful recipe by every measure: baklava rolls filled with muhallabia! An easy, delicious recipe with ingredients found in every home and at a low cost.

Ingredients

Start here, then move straight into the method.

  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon rose water
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Ready-made baklava phyllo dough
  • Sugar syrup

Method

Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.

  1. You must prepare a thick muhallabia with a heavy consistency for this recipe to succeed so the filling doesn't leak out during frying.
  2. Lay out filo or koloaj sheets, place the muhallabia filling, roll them, and seal the edges with water and flour...
  3. Place the muhallabia baklava rolls on a baking tray and brush the tops with butter, ghee, or oil as desired.
  4. Put the tray in the oven at 200°C for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they take on a golden color, depending on your oven's strength...
    Timers: 12 min
  5. In the last two minutes, turn the oven's top heat on, or you can also fry the muhallabia baklava rolls in oil on the stove. After removing them from the oven, pour cold syrup over them.
