Part-baklava, part-focaccia, this Baklava Focaccia recipes combines two flavors I love: the sweet, nuttiness of baklava and the fluffiness of focaccia.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp active dry yeast; see above for my favorite brand!
  • 1 tsp honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 1/4 c warm water
  • 2 1/2 c all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
  • butter (for greasing)
  • 1 c nuts (chopped*)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 c water
  • 1/2 c white sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup if vegan)

Directions

  1. 1

    Mix the yeast, honey (or maple syrup), and water together in a large bowl. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture gets foamy and yeasty.

  2. 2

    The next day, drizzle an additional 1 tbsp of olive oil on the dough and give the dough a quick knead to deflate it in the bowl.
