One of the most iconic desserts in Turkey is baklava. And in the southeastern city of Gaziantep, a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, master chef Mehmet Akincioglu runs a traditional baklava shop that bakes hundreds of trays of this dessert every day.

Everything from the dough and butter to the pistachios used for filling is carefully chosen to bring out the most intense flavor and consistency.

We visited Akincioglu Baklava to see how it makes this legendary dessert in such big batches.
