Filo pastry is a thin dough that comes in sheets.
The easiest way to get it is by buying it frozen.
However, be careful when working with this delicate dough, as it tends to dry out and break easily.
Always keep it covered with a slightly damp towel to prevent it from drying out.
If you prefer, you can replace the phyllo dough with puff pastry or even regular pita bread in this recipe!
So why wait? Treat your family to the best dinner they’ve ever had that will leave them wanting more.
