Steps

2 hours

1

Generously butter a medium-sized baking pan.
2

Cut the phyllo sheets in half to fit the pan, if needed.
3

Layer four sheets of phyllo in the pan, brushing each one well with melted butter.
4

In a bowl, mix together the almonds, cinnamon, breadcrumbs, and ground cloves.
5

Spoon a little of the almond mixture over the buttered phyllo sheets.
6

Add 2 more buttered phyllo sheets, then spread more of the almond mixture on top.
7

Continue layering 2 buttered phyllo sheets and some of the almond mixture, making sure to butter each sheet well.
8

Once all the filling is used, layer 4 more buttered phyllo sheets on top. Cut the baklava into squares or diamonds as you prefer.
9

Place a whole clove in the center of each piece to keep the phyllo from lifting.
10

Pour any remaining melted butter evenly over the baklava.
11

Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) with the fan on, placing the pan on the middle rack, for 1 1/2 hours.
12

About 15 minutes before the baklava is done, combine all the syrup ingredients in a saucepan and boil for about 3 minutes.
13

Remove the baklava from the oven and, while it's still hot, pour the hot syrup over it using a ladle.
14

Let it cool completely before serving. Enjoy your delicious, fragrant homemade baklava!
