I love his explanation and science behind his descriptions.
I wanna make the baklava !!!
Nice blazing saddles reference 😏
Baklava – I'm worn out watching.
Riquísima buenas😋😋😋😋😋😋😋🥝👋👏👍😋
Anything Dan makes is great he is so good looking
yummy
That Baklava is really labor intensive!
There is an easy way.. Put 24 layers of FILO and add crushed Walnuts or Pistachio ( It's BEST WITH PISTACHIO ) then add 16 layers of FILO on top of Walnuts an cut the FILO in diamond shape… Pour the melted butter on top of the FILO and bake it … Finally add COLD Sugar Syrup on top of baklava .That's it folks
Love it!!!!
Oh yumm! I'm gonna make this… one day. Soon, maybe!
Mike
Um … you're not making the filo dough? Really?
Barely any quantities were said about the cake. (?)
I love your videos but I am very frustrated that to see the actual recipe I have to subscribe Not cool. I will find my recipes elsewhere.
Was NOT expecting the Blazing Saddles reference in the middle of the recipe! Awesome!
Baklava goes back to Greek NOT Ottamon empire, correction?
Is there a chocolate baklava?
A nice Greek Yogurt would be great for this cake instead of traditional icing
The cake looks great!
I follow greeks receipe so much better!
The olive oil cake looks wonderful can T wait to try could you tell me what size thin I need to bake it in please
How much olive oil did you use?
13:06 ha, goteem
A Blazing Saddles reference for the win! Julia you rock!
Did she say "great job Ben" instead of Dan?
4:00 – something bugs me about this scene
You need the cloves to make it good
I love everything about this show. I have to try that olive oil cake soon.
I Loved the Blazing Saddles reference. LMAO
Never was mentioned how much oil!!??
Don Souza talk too fast hard to follow him .
Bridget's fantastic sense of humor came through again. When Julia complemented her for having a steady hand at pouring the syrup through the cut lines, I'm so impressed with Bridget's response. It was a reference to Blazing Saddles, "But I shoot with THIS hand." LOVED IT!
Blazing Saddles reference 🙂
BLAZING SADDLES
You made it look so easy! The non-guilty end portion for second serving!
I thought baklava was made with pistachio nuts?
Oh how I love baklava. I can only find it grocery store bakeries during the holidays, so I make my own at other times of the year. It really isn't hard, but it can be somewhat time-consuming. It's worth it though! So worth it. I may use this recipe next time.
HaHa "But I shoot with this hand" I love a Blazing Saddles reference.
Have not had homemade baklava for many years. I may have to do it sometime soon. Thank you for this wonderful recipe. BTW I substitute pistachios for walnuts.
Their baklava is good. The real problem is the pronunciation.
Up next….
Garlic cookies
👏👏👏💐💐🙏🙏
🙏🙏
Julia and Bridget are my heroes!!!! I love how you go through each step and explain WHY you are doing things a particular way and how it contributes to the end result. Baklava is my all time favorite dessert and you made it look doable 👍
Is it possible to put the warm butter into a fat separator jug thingy to have those same layers form?
Bridget is hotter than the cake!
