BAKLAVA ROLL
This baklava roll is different from the traditional square ones.  Simple to make and easy to serve without the filling falling out of the pastry.  In cooking, presentation is important and this lovely baklava roll will certainly bring out the "Wow!".  Like any other baklava, this one is really good and the sweetness in the syrup is just right. I have given this recipe to many of my friends and colleagues.  Enjoy!


Ingredients
- 3 cup chopped walnuts
- 1½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp sugar
    In a bowl, mix ingredients.

- 10 phyllo sheets
- ¾ c melted butter
     Lay 1 phyllo sheet and brush with butter.  Top with another sheet, brush with butter.  Put ½ c filling along long edge and roll tightly to form a roll.  Brush bottom of spring form pan with butter and fit the roll in a spiral in the middle of the pan. Repeat with remaining sheets and fit the rolls around the last one to form a circle.  Brush rolls with melted butter.
Bake at 350° F for 40 minutes or until phyllo is golden.  Slice coiled baklava into serving pieces.

Syrup
- 1¼ cup sugar
- ½ cup honey
- 2 tsp vanilla
- lemon rind
- 1½ cup water
      In a saucepan, bring all ingredients to a boil.  Pour over cooled baklava rolls.
