Gluten Free – My Life

Making gluten-free baklava with hand rolled GF filo.

Dough recipe:
1-1/3 cup warm water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon dry yeast

Proof the yeast, combine with
2 eggs
3-1/2 cups Jules All Purpose GF flour
Set aside for one hour in a warm spot

Baklava filling:
2 cups chopped pecans
2 cups chopped walnuts
1 cup chopped almond
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground clove

Syrup:
3 cups sugar
1-1/2 cup water
1/2 cup brandy ( I prefer Metaxa 7-star)
3 tablespoons honey

2 cinnamon sticks in pieces

For the musically inclined, the background music is a classical guitar version of J.S. Bach’s Chaconne from the Second Violin Partita
