over the top with nuts in this Baklava

Over-The-Top with Nuts!
Over-The-Top with Nuts!

I am sure this question has come into your mind at one time or another: “can Baklava really have too many nuts?” Some people tackle simpler questions – such as the theory of relativity – but the leading thinkers of our time ponder the subtle universal question of nuts and Baklava! 40 sheets of filo dough with a layer of nuts every 4 sheets make this interesting if not unique.

My daughters – three of the leading thinkers of our time – wondered aloud about how many nuts could be placed into a standard pan size Baklava? Although the math is quite complicated… the answer was 4 cups ground.

In a single blind taste test that is ongoing,  this Baklava has proven to be a cure for culinary unhappiness… and another step toward our ‘Greek Night”.

What I do for science?  😉
