Add another 3-5 sheets of phyllo (depends on your references whether you like your baklava has a nuttier flavor of buttery crunchy phyllo texture).

Remember to brush each phyllo with butter before putting the other one on top.
Repeat the process until all the chopped nuts are used (approximately 5 to 6 layers).

The more phyllo you put on top, the crispier baklava will be.
