Overhead shot of two different types of baklava
Baklava, a sweet and flaky pastry layered with nuts and drenched in syrup, has a rich history that spans centuries and cultures. Originating in the ancient kitchens of the Levant, baklava's roots can be traced back to the Assyrians, who were believed to have baked thin layers of dough with nuts and honey as early as the 8th century B.C. Over time, the recipe evolved and spread throughout the Middle East, the Balkans, and the Mediterranean, with each region adding its own unique twist. Today, baklava is celebrated worldwide as a symbol of indulgence and tradition, offering a layered, textured, sticky bite that can't be beaten.
