Knead the flour, egg, yogurt, vegetable oil, grape vinegar, and salt into a firm dough.
Cover and rest the dough for 45 minutes so the gluten relaxes and the yufka rolls thinner.
Boil the granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice for 12 minutes to prepare the syrup, then let it cool until warm.
Divide the dough into balls and roll them into thin yufka sheets with wheat starch.
Air the yufka sheets for 8 minutes, sprinkle walnut kernels over them, wrap around the rolling pin, and squeeze from both sides.
Arrange the squeezed yufka sheets in the tray and drizzle melted butter over them.
Bake the baklava in a 175°C oven for 40 to 42 minutes, until browned.
Pour the warm syrup over the hot baklava from the oven, let it absorb for 35 minutes, and serve.
💡 Tip: Do not dry the opened yufka sheets completely; if they stay half-flexible, they will not break while being squeezed around the rolling pin and will settle neatly in the tray.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: After the baklava absorbs its syrup, serve it in small portions with optional plain Turkish coffee.
