Sticky baklava rolls

These sticky baklava rolls is a delicious sweet treat loaded with brown sugar, cinnamon and pecan nuts. The sticky syrup takes it over the top.

 

Sticky Baklava rolls

There are a few desserts I always swoon over. Crème brûlée, Tiramisu, Apple tarte tatin and Baklava. These are the desserts I will order, no matter how much I’ve already eaten. They are classics and when done right, are the most delicious things you will ever eat.

Sticky Baklava rolls

I made these sticky baklava rolls a while ago when I had a serious craving for cinnamon rolls. I wanted sticky, sweet, cinnamony goodness all wrapped up in a soft doughy bun. Drooool! I used my doughnut dough (full recipe and video) because it’s honestly such a versatile, fantastic dough and works perfectly for sticky buns/rolls. I filled the dough generously (understatement of the year) with butter, soft brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and pecans before rolling and slicing. I baked them off while making the delicious baklava syrup flavoured with honey, vanilla and cinnamon before pouring the syrup over the baklava rolls the moment they came out of the oven. This allows the rolls to soak up all that delicious syrup and you guys. It was honestly such a triumph.

These sticky baklava rolls were gobbled up in mere minutes so be warned: they are totally addictive.

    I have some people in town staying with me for a wedding shower. Could I make the dough the night before and then let it proof in the morning to save a little time in the morning?

      If you click on the word “Dough” in the recipe box, it should take you straight to the dough recipe.

    Would you recommend doing this with any other type of dough or pastry?

      You could really do this with any pastry, puff pastry and phyllo would both work. The end result will obviously be less soft and pillowy and more crisp but it will be delicious nonetheless.

    I love this idea. I’ve made your doughnut dough many times and have used it for simple ring doughnuts, filled doughnuts and now I’ll definitely try this too.
