Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the pastry
  • 1 package phyllo dough
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup pistachios, finely chopped
  • 1 cup almonds, finely chopped
  • 1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
For the syrup
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix the chopped pistachios, almonds, walnuts, and cinnamon together.
  3. Lay a sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface, brushing it lightly with melted butter. Repeat this process with 5 more sheets, layering them on top of each other.
  4. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the nut mixture along one end of the phyllo dough. Roll it tightly into a log shape.
  5. Place the rolled saragli in a greased baking dish and repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
  6. Once all are rolled and in the dish, brush the tops with the remaining melted butter.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes until golden brown and crunchy.
  2. While the saragli is baking, prepare the syrup: In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, honey, and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  3. Once the saragli is done baking, remove it from the oven and pour the hot syrup over it. Allow it to soak for several hours or overnight for best results.
  4. Cut into pieces and serve.

Notes

Be gentle when handling the phyllo dough; it can tear easily. Make sure to use enough butter between the layers for a crispy texture. Let the Saragli soak in syrup for longer to enhance the flavor.
