HOMEMADE PHYLLO (OR FILO) DOUGH
I'm no expert at making phyllo dough, but the good news is, despite that, I still managed to achieve some fairly excellent results, and suspect you will as well. And it's way more fun than buying it frozen from the store.

Steps:
- Place 2 cups flour in a mixing bowl; make a well in the center. Drizzle in olive oil and add salt; add white wine vinegar and warm water. Mix until dough just comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, 1 or 2 minutes. Transfer dough ball to a lightly floured work surface.
- Knead until dough is smooth, using just enough flour to keep it from sticking to the work surface or your hands, 2 or 3 minutes. Continue to knead until dough is supple and elastic, about 5 more minutes. Wrap dough ball in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature, 1 to 2 hours.
- Divide dough into 20 (20 gram) portions using a kitchen scale; roll each portion into a ball. Place on plate and cover with plastic wrap to prevent dough balls from drying out while you begin to roll them out. Work in batches of 5.
- Mix cornstarch and 2 tablespoons flour together in a bowl. Dust a work surface and the first dough ball with the cornstarch mixture. Flatten out the dough ball and roll out into a circle, about 5 inches in diameter. Dust again with cornstarch mixture. Set circle to one side. Roll out 4 more dough balls to about the same diameter and stack them on the first one, dusting each layer with more of the cornstarch mixture to keep them from sticking together.
- When you have 5 circles, roll out the stack to a larger circle about double in size, turning as you go to maintain a round shape. Separate each layer and lay out the circles. Re-apply more cornstarch mixture where needed and restack them. Roll again until the 5-layer stack is paper thin, about 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Place on a sheet of parchment paper; top with another piece of parchment. Gently roll up the dough; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate.
- Repeat with the remaining 15 balls of dough in batches of 5.

BASIC PHYLLO DOUGH
It seems scary at first, making your own phyllo dough. But with this recipe, we learn that although phyllo means leaf, that leaf need not be the paper-thin kind we're used to seeing in Middle Eastern pastry. A Greek chef, Diane Kochilas, gives the lesson here, and she's not overly careful of the dough, she patches holes where needed and she uses a good amount of olive oil. It's delicious.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine 3 1/4 cups of the flour and salt. Add the water, olive oil and vinegar or lemon juice. Mix on low speed for 3 minutes, then increase speed to medium. Knead with the hook, stopping the mixer to add additional flour in 1/4-cup increments as needed, until the dough is very smooth and pliant. The whole mixing process should take about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let stand for 1 hour at room temperature. You can store the dough, well wrapped, in the refrigerator for several days or in the freezer for up to two weeks. Bring to room temperature before using. (If it's frozen, first defrost in the refrigerator.)

- In a large mixing bowl add the flour and salt, make a well in the centre and pour in the vinegar and the olive oil. Using a dough hook mix to combine the ingredients for 10-15 seconds. (Tip: The vinegar helps the dough to become crispy.)
- Depending on the kind of flour, the weather, the humidity and various factors, the dough may need a little bit more or less water than this recipe calls for. The secret to make the perfect homemade phyllo is the amount of water you will use; a few more drops may have a huge impact.
- Start by adding 130g of water at first (1/2 a cup) and mix, until the flour absorbs the water; after mixing for a while, the dough should become an elastic ball. The perfect dough should be soft, malleable and smooth. If the dough is still crumbled, then you need to add a little bit more water. Add a few drops of water and mix for a while; check out the consistency of your dough and add a few more drops of water, if needed. In case you added more water than needed, the dough will become sticky. Don’t worry, you can fix that by adding some more flour (add 1/2 tsp at first, mix and check again).
- When you are happy with the consistency of your dough, cut the dough in balls (slightly larger then a golf ball, approx. 80gr each, depending on size of the tray), coat lightly with olive oil, wrap with some plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 45-60 minutes. This is essential, so that the dough softens and you can roll it easily.

- Add all-purpose flour, water, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar and a pinch of salt to a bowl. Stir everything to combine using a wooden spoon, then transfer the dough to a clean working surface and start kneading the dough. Knead with your hands for about 5 minutes or until the dough is nice and elastic. Cover with a bowl and leave the dough to sit for about 5 minutes, then knead again for a minute.
- Knead into a ball, then lightly brush with oil. Put the dough in a freezer bag or wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for at least one hour or overnight. This way the dough will become more pliable and easier to stretch.
- Place a large tablecloth over your working surface or table. Sprinkle the tablecloth with flour and place the rested dough on top. Use the rolling pin to gently roll out the dough to paper-thin thickness. Then stretch the dough using your hands, be careful not to make any holes in the dough. The best way to stretch the dough is from the center of the dough to the outside corners, working your way around the sheet of dough. Place your hands (palms facing up) underneath the phyllo dough, and start pulling, stretching the dough from the center to the outside corners very gently. Stretch until translucent.
- You can use phyllo (or filo) dough for all kinds of savory or sweet treats right away or you can store it for later. For storing, carefully cut the phyllo on 30 cm x 20 cm (12-inch x 8-inch) sheets. Sprinkle each sheet with rice flour on both sides. Stack the sheets, then first wrap them in baking paper and then wrap in plastic wrap. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

12 PHYLLO DOUGH RECIPES THAT ARE EASY AND IMPRESSIVE

Author Katherine Gillen
- Spicy Ricotta-Stuffed Phyllo Rolls. We’re starting a petition to get these cheese-stuffed phyllo rolls at every cocktail party from now on. They’re just creamy and spicy enough, and best served with a jalapeño jelly dipping sauce.
- Falafel Pie with Cucumber-Tomato Salad. We didn’t think you could improve on falafel, but here we are. This pie is filling, healthy and surprisingly simple to make.
- Baklava Pie. While it’s totally delicious, baklava is admittedly tedious to make at home. This version eliminates the layers and bakes up as an equally delicious (and effortless) pie instead.
- Greek Spinach and Feta Pie (Spanakopita) The traditional cheese and spinach pie, spanakopita, has a lot going for it, including buttery, cheesy goodness and a crisp phyllo crust.
- Buffalo Chicken Phyllo Rolls. Buffalo chicken is always a good idea, but it’s even better when wrapped in a flaky, portable package.
- Phyllo Dough Meat and Feta Rolls. These are kind of like a Mediterranean egg roll but filled with meat and cheese. We’ll have three, please.
- Spinach Feta Quiche with Flaky Phyllo Crust. The hardest part of making a quiche is working with the crust. The solution? Swap it for store-bought phyllo dough.
- Easy Pistachio Chocolate Baklava. If you do want to tackle this Greek pastry at home, why not start with this approachable version? It has three big layers instead of many thin ones, which saves a ton of time (and tears).
- 5-Ingredient Caprese Phyllo Cups. Tomatoes, mozzarella and basil are a foolproof combination. FYI, you can make your own phyllo cups (fancy!) but you can also find pre-made ones at the grocery store.
- Samosas. Sure, traditional samosas aren’t usually made with phyllo. But give us a shatteringly crisp crust and we’re not complaining.
