Baklava is probably THE most popular Greek dessert, made with nuts, cinnamon, and phyllo. It is found at every Greek restaurant, and every Greek household. It is made for special occasions as well as for family dinners.
Making pita with homemade phyllo pastry is very satisfying. I use this recipe to make savoury pies like our ground meat pie. This traditional recipe makes enough for 20 sheets of phyllo for a 10″ (25cm) round pan.
