Baklava is made of layers of filo dough with cinnamon-scented walnuts in the middle. After it's baked, honey is poured over it for the filo to soak up. It's quite a sweet dessert, but as long as you use good quality honey, your taste buds will be exposed to brilliant crunchy texture and delicious taste.
Baklava is the ancestor of strudel. It was brought to Hungary by Turkish invaders in the 16th century.
Each American consumes, on average, 53 pounds of bread per year. Beyond the fact that many people bake because they gain satisfaction and even joy out of the process, baking your own bread may be healthier than buying at the store. Fewer additives and total control of the quality of ingredients are important considerations.
Old wives tales tell that eating the bread crust makes a person's hair curlier.
