Phyllo Dough

Paper-thin sheets of wheat dough, flour and water stretched until they are almost transparent, then brushed with fat and layered.

Origin

The stretched-dough technique is old across the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East.

Flavour

The dough itself is plain. Crispness and richness come from the butter or oil between the sheets.

How to use it

Keep the stack covered so it does not dry out, brush each sheet, and bake until deep gold.

Storage

Refrigerate or freeze the unopened pack. Once opened, use it the same day.
