Hi There,

Cheers

The Lebanese believe that they created Baclava. But the Lebanese also believe that they created the alphabet and are one of the world's premier peoples. In other words, they are full of shit. Certainly, Baclava is Middle Eastern, probably Syria, though possibly a more nothern country. Turkey is a likely choice.

The Lebanese created Baklawa (in Lebanon it is Baklawa and not Baklava) and it was originally made for wedding parties and other important celebrations. There are very slight regioal variations in Baklawa within Lebanon mainly between central Mount Lebanon and northern Mount Lebanon. There are also many other kinds of Lebanese goodies such as Maamoul, Knefeh, and so on.

Of all Turkey's delicious sweet confections, the most famous is baklava. This exquisite flavored pastry has been made in Anatolia for many centuries, and its ancestor is widely believed to be a dish made by the Assyrians at around 8th century B.C. They were the first people who put together a few layers of thin bread dough, with chopped nuts, dried fruit in between those layers, added some honey and baked it in their wood burning ovens. This earliest known version of baklava was baked only on special occasions. In fact, historically, baklava was considered a food for the rich until mid-19th century.

Baklava is a very common sweet that streches from Greece to Iran. Who knows who invented it. The word itself sounds Turkish BUT that doesn't mean they invented it.

The earliest record of baklava as we know it today locates it in Damascus, from which city it spread to Gaziantep and from there to the rest of Turkey. The baklava of Gaziantep city is made with even thinner layers of pastry, and filled with the finest quality pistachio nuts which grow in this region.
Baklava is one of the oldest known Turkish flaky pastry desserts. Its popularity goes back to the time of Sultan Mehmet II, who gave the order for Baklava in 1460s.
Assyrian triangle located between Lower Zab and Tigris Rivers.
By the 15th century at least the fame of baklava had spread to Istanbul, since towards the end of that century baklava was being made by the palace cooks as a special treat for the janissaries in Ramadan. The janissaries carried the trays of baklava out of the palace in what was known as the Baklava Procession.
During the reign of Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent (1520-1566), the soldiers had been given a large meal of pilaf, lamb stew and saffron flavored rice pudding (zerde) before setting out on campaign, and in time, this tradition was replaced by the distribution of baklava during Ramadan.

Having eaten many kinds of Middle Eastern Backlawa, from Greek and Syrian, to Lebanese and Turkish, I can say that the Lebanese and Turkish versions are without a doubt the best and of far superior quality compared to the rest. I would also say that though the possibility is that it originated somewhere in the Middle East, the Turks have a slight advantage over the Lebanese now in terms of taste and quality. Until last year, I thought Lebanese backlawa was the best of the lot. That was before I visited Turkey and had their version. Obviously the patronage of the Ottomans Sultans had a tremendous impact on refining backlawa even further. This is very evident in all Turkish food. As a matter of fact, since the Ottomans ruled almost all of the Middle East at one point, they spread a lot of their cooking throughout the region, and also learned a lot from the people they ruled. However, there will be no doubt in the minds of anyone who has tried actual Turkish cooking in Turkey, versus the same dish made in Lebanon (which by the way is still of far superior quality than the other parts of the Middle East), the Turkish versions come out ahead. This applies for everything from Kababs, to Kanafa (Kunefa in Turkey), to Backlawa.

Baclava was invented by the Coptic Christians of
Siwa in 347 A.D {WESTERN TIME }
It was the brainchild of Artemius Theodorus
Calinikos. The festival of the thirteen bikini's
was the prime motivator.
It is said that this festival is the prime reason
that Arabs have more than one wife.
leading us to believe that Baclava has selfish
aphrodisiac qualities.
Good luck and wishehes on your project

In order to answer this question, one has to tell the untold history of Anatolia and Turks who actually been there before the years (claimed 1071) most history books write.
As it's known, Anatolia is the center of tens of civilizations in the last 15000 years. Turkish civilizations have practiced the thin layered sweets and mixture of different ingredients such as walnuts and peanuts even when they located in Middle Asia. Such as dolma, kadayif, baklava, yogurt, kahve (coffee), doner (gyro) and many other names origin from Turkish. The action while making them and the ingredient names are usually put together to name these dishes and drinks. Interestingly, none of these words originate from Latin or Arabic languages but from Ugric languages. Need to say more?
sample; baklava= bakla=kat(layer)=baklamak=to put layers ontop of each other
dolma=doldurmak=to stuff=stuffed
yogurt=yogurmak=to mold, to form (what it's done to make yogurt)
coffee=kahve=telve=grinded coffee left on bottom of the cup
peace
