Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups finely chopped pistachios, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon.
  2. Step 2: Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush evenly with 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter. Place a second sheet on top and brush with another 2 tbsp butter.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the pistachio mixture evenly over the phyllo stack, then roll tightly into a log. Repeat this process to make 6 rolls total.
  4. Step 4: Place rolls seam side down on a greased baking sheet and brush the tops with remaining melted butter. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and crisp.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, combine 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup water, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp vanilla extract in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes until syrup slightly thickens.
  6. Step 6: Remove baklava rolls from oven and immediately drizzle with warm honey syrup. Let cool before serving.
