Wrap each sheet around the rolling pin, gather it from both ends toward the center, and cut into three-finger-wide pieces.
- 5
Arrange the gathered pieces in a tray without crowding them and drizzle melted butter over the top.

💡 Tip: Rest the dough for at least 60 minutes; dough rolled in a rush needs too much starch and turns firm after baking.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: After the syrup is absorbed, serve the baklava on small porcelain plates with optional plain Turkish coffee.
