Hi, Your Baklavas looks great but I am sorry to disappoint you because baklavas is Greek and neither Turkish nor Egyptian. The word baklavas is in ancient Greek and it means "to cut into pieces". The Turks took it from Byzantium when they seized and conquered Constantinople in 1453. A lot of other recipes of Greek origin have been passed to Turkish cuisine. And by the way do you know a Turkish word for Phyllo?

Ahmed! Thanks for posting your baklava recipe. I tried making the cigar-shaped rolls and will stick with the classic version made in a pan in the future. This is a good recipe and the addition of the raisins should make it even better. Thank you for sharing!
