Make-Ahead Instructions: After preparing baklava, cool it to room temperature. Cut it into individual pieces and place it in a container. Store ahead on the counter for one week or in the refrigerator for two weeks. Freezer Instructions: That’s the grace of this delicious recipe. You can make it ahead and freeze this Lebanese baklava for three months. However, you must place the baklava in a freezer-safe ziplock bag or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Once covered, I recommend placing it in a freezer-safe storage container. This will prevent anything from bumping into it and cracking the delicate sheets. Before serving, make sure you thaw it at room temperature.
