Method

1

Knead the dough from eggs, flour, and water for about 15 minutes until soft.

2

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

3

Divide the dough into portions and roll into 35 balls, each about the size of a walnut.

4

Dust the balls in starch, roll out into rounds, and stack in sets of 7 sheets, rolling each stack to the size of your baking dish.

5

Brush a rimmed baking sheet with butter and layer the dough, alternating with butter, nuts, and thinly sliced melon.

6

Roll out the top sheets of dough separately and place them over the final layer.

7

Trim the excess dough around the edges, tuck the edges inward, and slice the baklava into small rectangles or triangles with a sharp knife.

8

Drizzle the baklava with melted butter and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F), then reduce the temperature to 170°C (340°F) and finish baking.
