Holy Baklava Batman!
Erica of Erica’s Edibles was our host for the Daring Baker’s June challenge. Erica challenged us to be truly DARING by making homemade phyllo dough and then to use that homemade dough to make Baklava. Yes, you read that correctly folks... h-o-m-e-m-a-d-e phyllo dough.
Baklava is not in my usual rotation of desserts. I vaguely remember trying it once on a Jr. High field trip to Chicago's Greektown, and from what I remember, it was pretty good (of course, my favorite desserts at that time were Hostess Ding Dongs and Suzy-Q, so it goes to show you how discerning my palette was back then).
I also remembered the two packages of phyllo sitting in my freezer just waiting to be put to good use. But no, Erica had to go all 'daring' on us and insist on h-o-m-e-m-a-d-e phyllo (just teasing, I love this challenge). I guess they will have to wait for another day.
