Turkish Baklava

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter, ensuring all surfaces are well coated to prevent sticking.

Unroll the strudel dough and lay it flat on a clean work surface. Cut the dough into strips approximately 3-4 inches wide and 6-8 inches long.

Brush each strip of strudel dough generously with melted butter on both sides, working quickly to prevent the dough from drying out.

Gently roll or fold each buttered strip into a loose coil or spiral shape, maintaining a light, airy structure rather than pressing tightly.

Arrange the rolled pieces in the prepared baking pan in a single layer, spacing them closely but not overlapping completely.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the dough is golden brown and crispy throughout.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. The pastry will continue to crisp as it cools.
