Hey there, sweet tooth friends! Let me share the magic of Turkish pistachio baklava - imagine crispy, gossamer-thin layers of buttery phyllo dough hugging a heavenly filling of finely ground pistachios. Making this treat is like creating edible art: you'll layer delicate sheets of phyllo with melted butter, sprinkle in aromatic pistachio mixture, and repeat until you've built a gorgeous stack of about 28 layers. After cutting your masterpiece into classic diamond shapes, you'll bake it until it's golden brown and crispy, then immediately drench it in a fragrant syrup infused with a hint of rose water and lemon. Finally, here's the hardest part - you'll need to exercise some serious patience and let it rest overnight to achieve that perfect texture where each bite shatters delicately before melting in your mouth, but trust me, it's absolutely worth the wait! 🥮✨
