Decadent Delight: Salted Caramel Pistachio Baklava
Ingredients:
1 package phyllo dough (16 oz)
2 cups pistachios, finely chopped
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
1/2 cup caramel sauce for drizzling
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with some of the melted butter.
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the prepared dish, brush with melted butter, and repeat with half of the phyllo sheets.
Spread the chopped pistachios evenly over the layered phyllo.
Continue layering and buttering the remaining phyllo sheets.
Cut the baklava into diamond shapes using a sharp knife.
Bake for 50 minutes, or until the baklava is golden and crisp.
While the baklava bakes, make the syrup: combine sugar, water, honey, and vanilla in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove the baklava from the oven, immediately pour the syrup over the hot baklava, and sprinkle with sea salt.
Let cool completely before drizzling with caramel sauce and serving.
