I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my baklava turned out dry and crumbly. I'll have to try again.

I used a different type of nuts in my baklava, and it turned out just as good as the recipe.

I had some trouble finding phyllo dough, but I was able to find it at a local Middle Eastern grocery store.
