  • 3 to assemble and bake: brush 13- by 9-inch traditional (not nonstick) baking pan with butter. adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 300 degrees. unwrap and unfold phyllo on large cutting board; carefully smooth with hands to flatten. using baking pan as guide, cut sheets crosswise with chef’s knife, yielding two roughly evenly sized stacks of phyllo (one may be narrower than other). cover with plastic wrap, then damp kitchen towel to prevent drying.
  • 4 place one phyllo sheet (from wider stack) in bottom of baking pan and brush until completely coated with butter. repeat with 7 more phyllo sheets (from wider stack), brushing each with butter.
  • 5 evenly distribute about 1 cup nuts over phyllo. cover nuts with phyllo sheet (from narrower stack) and dab with butter (phyllo will slip if butter is brushed on). repeat with 5 more phyllo sheets (from narrower stack), staggering sheets slightly if necessary to cover nuts, and brushing each with butter. repeat layering with additional 1 cup nuts, 6 sheets phyllo, and remaining 1 cup nuts. finish with 8 to 10 sheets phyllo (from wider stack), using nicest and most intact sheets for uppermost layers and brushing each except final sheet with butter. following illustration 6, use palms of hands to compress layers, working from center outward to press out any air pockets. spoon 4 tablespoons butter on top layer and brush to cover all surfaces. following illustration 7, use bread knife or other serrated knife with pointed tip in gentle sawing motion to cut baklava into diamonds, rotating pan as necessary to complete cuts. (cut on bias into eighths on both diagonals.).
  • 6 bake until golden and crisped, about 1 ½ hours, rotating baking pan halfway through baking. immediately after removing baklava from oven, pour cooled syrup over cut lines until about 2 tablespoons remain (syrup will sizzle when it hits hot pan); drizzle remaining syrup over surface. garnish center of each piece with pinch of reserved ground nuts. cool to room temperature on wire rack, about 3 hours, then cover with foil and let stand at least 8 hours before serving. (once cooled, baklava can be served, but flavor and texture improve if left to stand at least 8 hours. baklava can be wrapped tightly in foil and kept at room temperature up to 10 days.).
