Homemade Baklava Sheets

Ingredients

• 4 cups plain flour
• 1 egg
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• For rolling out: 1.5 cups wheat starch

Method

1. Knead the flour, egg, water, salt and vinegar into a dough that does not stick to your hands.
2. Divide into twelve pieces, cover and rest for half an hour.
3. Roll each piece out to the size of a plate, dusting with starch.
4. Stack the sheets with plenty of starch between them; the starch is what keeps the layers apart.
5. Roll five or six sheets together around the pin, thinning them to the width of your tray.
6. Separate the sheets one by one and brush off the excess starch.
7. Layer them into the tray with melted butter between each one and add your filling.
