Swar as-sitt

Swar as-sitt is a delectable Syrian dessert that is a variation of Middle Eastern baklava and is commonly known as baklava bracelet. It consists of very thin and crispy phyllo dough that is rolled and folded into a round pastry treat with a small cavity in the middle. These little phyllo treats are typically brushed with melted ghee and then baked until golden and crispy. Once baked, they are covered with hot sugar syrup and filled with ground or sliced pistachios. The round shape of this sweet dessert resembles a bracelet, which is probably how this dessert got its name, which translates to lady’s bracelet. With crispy phyllo layers and crunchy pistachios, all drenched in sweet sugar syrup, swar as-sitt is one of the most beloved Middle Eastern sweet treats.
