Baklava (/bɑːkləˈvɑː, ˈbɑːkləvɑː/^[1] or /bəˈklɑːvə/^[2]) is a layered dessert made of filo pastry sheets, filled with chopped nuts, and sweetened with syrup or honey.

There are many competing proposals for the origin of baklava, but there is no consensus on which of the options is true.^[3]^[4] In modern times, it is common in Greek, Iranian, Arab, Kurdish, Turkish, Levantine, and Maghrebi cuisine, as well as in the cuisines of South Caucasus, Balkans, and Central Asia.
