- Using the Ninja Woodfire™ Outdoor Oven - OO101, install the Accessory Frame in the bottom level of the unit, then place the Pizza Stone on top.
- Turn the dial to select BAKE, set the temperature to 180°C and set the time to 50 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin preheating (preheating will take approximately 10 minutes).
- Grease the bottom of a 30x20 cm baking dish with ghee. In a large bowl, combine the pistachios and 100g caster sugar. Unroll the filo and trim as needed to fit in the pan.
- Lay approximately 30 sheets of filo dough in the prepared pan. Evenly top with the nut mixture. Then place the remaining filo sheets on top.
- Pour the ¾ cup melted ghee over the baklava, tilting the pan to evenly cover. Cut the baklava into diamonds by making 4 cuts lengthwise and 9 cuts crosswise diagonally.
- When the unit is preheated and ADD FOOD and PRESS START is displayed, open the door and place the baking dish on the stone. Close the door and select START/STOP to begin cooking.
- To prepare the simple syrup, combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved and the syrup is thick but still clear, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- When cooking is complete, open the door, remove the dish, and immediately pour the cooled simple syrup evenly over the baklava and top with orange zest. Allow baklava to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving.
