Chop 2 cups of walnuts into little pieces.

In a bowl, mix chopped walnuts with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of bread crumbs.

Set the walnut filling aside.

In another bowl, combine lots of melted butter with 1/2 cup of olive oil and set aside.

Unwrap the shredded phyllo dough, which should be defrosted from the fridge.

Stretch the phyllo out onto your counter.

Brush the phyllo noodles generously with the butter and oil mixture.

Sprinkle the walnut mixture all over the buttered phyllo.

Roll the phyllo and filling into a log shape using a long stick or PVC pipe.

Place the rolled log onto a baking sheet and remove the stick.

Slice the log into about 1.5 inch pieces and sprinkle with any remaining butter.

Bake in the oven for 1 hour at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a small pot, combine equal parts of water and sugar with lemon or orange peel and cinnamon sticks, and bring to a boil.

After about 10 minutes, remove the syrup from heat and add honey, then refrigerate to cool completely.

Once the gandaifi is baked and golden brown, pour the chilled syrup over the hot dessert.
