I offer another recipe for baklava, this time from ready-made puff pastry, stuffed with various dried fruits and nuts, soaked in honey syrup. Unlike the previously proposed Turkish and Armenian baklava recipes, this one cooks faster, and it is also less time consuming to prepare, since purchased puff pastry is used. For the filling and syrup, I used demerara, but you can use regular refined sugar. I made three layers of filling: 2 from dried fruits and 1 from nuts.
Fragrant, delicious and even healthy baklava ... Try it! All my family members liked it very much.
