Recipe for preparation of pakhlava

A layer is rolled out from the pastry with thickness of not less than 2 mm, put into baking tray, oiled and lavishly filled with stuffing. This process is continued, until 9-10 layers are made. Another version uses 14 layers.[4] The last layer is greased with yolk, mixed up with saffron. Then pakhlava is cut into two rhombs, then either hazelnut or half of the kernel of Circassian walnut is placed on each piece. Then it is baked with 180°-200°C temperature pending 30–40 minutes.[5][6]
