4. Put two layers of phyllo dough over the walnut layer and repeat butter-oil mixture and walnut procedures as step 1. After second walnut layer finish left over phyllo doughs with following two phyllo dough than spreading butter-oil mixture procedure.

5. When all the phyllo doughs finished cut square, diagonal, or triangle and spread the left over butter-oil mixture on top of it.

6. Bake it at 400F-200C oven untill the top turns to golden brown.

7. Pour the cold syrup on hot baklava and let it cool without covering it.

You can prepare the baklava upto one week prior to pouring the syrup. Store the baked dough at a dry place and use hot syrup this time.

You can replace the butter with 1.5 cups of vegetable oil. This makes the baklava lighter but a little crusty. Butter will make it moist.

You can find fillo doughs in the frozen dessert section in supermarkets.
