Baklava rolls are the same flavor rolled into logs, which makes them easier to serve than the tray cut. I roll them tight so the pistachios stay inside instead of leaking out.
This recipe for baklava rolls is straightforward, requiring only a few ingredients and basic rolling skills. They make a great treat for special occasions or a sweet ending to any meal.
Simple Pistachio Baklava Rolls
This baklava rolls recipe showcases layers of crispy phyllo pastry filled with a mixture of ground pistachios, butter, and spices, all topped with a warm honey syrup. The preparation time is about 30 minutes, and the baking time is around 25-30 minutes, yielding about 12 rolls.
Ingredients
- 1 package of phyllo pastry (about 16 ounces)
- 1 cup unsalted pistachios, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine honey, water, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Assemble the Rolls: Layer 3 sheets of phyllo pastry on a clean surface, brushing each layer with melted butter. Spread a portion of the pistachio mixture along one edge of the pastry and roll it up tightly. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Repeat: Continue assembling the remaining rolls until all the filling is used.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Add Syrup: Once the rolls are baked, immediately pour the cooled honey syrup over them, allowing it to soak in.
