Cooking recipes / Recipes for sweets / Desserts

Baklava with sour cream is a recipe for an interesting cooking option for this oriental sweetness. Baklava is prepared with sour cream, as usual, from flaky dough with nut filling, but sour cream is added to the oil with which baklava is poured before baking.

flour - 3.5 cups, butter - 500 g, salt - 1.5 tsp, water - 1 cup

Cook the puff dough. To do this, sift the flour into a bowl, add one tablespoon of butter, salt, water and quickly knead the dough so that it does not stick to the hands and dishes. Then roll the dough into a ball, cover with a damp towel and leave in the fridge for half an hour. After that, sprinkle flour on the table, roll the dough into the layer on it. Put a smaller layer of butter on the middle, fold the dough with an envelope (four times), roll out. Then fold the resulting formation in the 3 of the layer and place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Repeat this procedure 3-4 more times, cooling the dough each time. Then divide the dough into the same pieces and finely roll them out. Grind almonds and hazelnuts (not very finely). Pile thin sheets of dough on a baking sheet, pour every fifth sheet with a mixture of melted butter and sour cream, and sprinkle every tenth sheet with a mixture of almonds and hazelnuts. Bake baklava with sour cream in a preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Cool the finished baklava with sour cream, pour hot sugar syrup and leave to soak for a day.
