Bakllava is a traditional sweet pastry from Albania and many other countries in the Balkan region. It is made from layers of thin, flaky phyllo dough, filled with a mixture of chopped nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, and sweetened with sugar or honey. The filled phyllo is then cut into diamond or triangular shapes and baked until golden brown. The finished product is rich, sweet, and crunchy, with a delicate texture and a distinctive nutty flavor. Bakllava is often served as a dessert and is a staple at holidays and special celebrations, where it is enjoyed with tea, coffee, or ice cream.
