- Keep dough under a clean, moist kitchen towel to prevent drying as you work with it. Trim it to fit your baking dish, overlapping small pieces.
- Once assembled, cut thru the top ½ of the layers before baking to make cutting easier upon completion.
- Spoon on the hot honey while the dessert is still hot so they can be absorbed into the layers as they cool.
- Grease a 13by 9-inch baking dish. In a large bowl with a spoon, mix chopped walnuts, sugar, cinnamon until blended. Cut phyllo into 13x9 inch rectangles.
- In a baking dish, place one sheet of phyllo, brush with butter. Repeat with 5 more layers, brushing each with butter and sprinkle with one cup of nut mixture.
- Place one sheet of phyllo over the nut mixture, brush with butter. Repeat with at least 6 layers, overlapping if necessary.
- Sprinkle with 1 cup nut mixture. Repeat layering two more times. Place remaining phyllo on top of last walnut layer, brush with butter.
- With a sharp knife, cut ½ way thru the layers in triangle patterns to make 24 servings (make 12 squares then cut them in half diagonally). Bake in 300 oven until golden brown about 1 hour, 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, heat honey until hot but not boiling. Spoon honey over baklava. Cool in pan at least one hour and then cut thru remaining layers and serve.
