Baklava is a sweet, flaky pastry dessert made of layers of phyllo dough, chopped nuts, and soaked in honey or syrup. The pastry is often flavoured with cinnamon, cardamom, ground cloves, or rosewater.

In a medium bowl, combine chopped walnuts, chopped pistachios, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, and ground cloves. Mix well and set aside.

Prepare the Nut Mixture

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt the butter in a saucepan. In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, place one sheet of phyllo dough, brush with melted butter, and repeat with 7 more sheets, buttering each layer.

Layer the Phyllo Dough

Spread half of the nut mixture evenly over the phyllo layers. Add 5 more phyllo sheets, brushing with butter between each layer. Spread the remaining nut mixture over the top.

Add Nut Filling

Finish by layering the remaining phyllo sheets on top, again brushing each layer with butter. Cut the baklava into diamond or square shapes before baking.

Top with Phyllo

Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.

Bake

While the baklava is baking, combine water, sugar, and honey in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir in rosewater and remove from heat.

Prepare the Syrup

Once the baklava is done baking, immediately pour the syrup over it, ensuring it seeps into the cuts. Allow it to cool completely before serving.
