How do I make filo deeg?

Answer 1

To make filo dough, combine flour and a pinch of salt in a bowl, then gradually add water and a little olive oil while mixing until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until elastic, then cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. After resting, divide the dough into small balls and roll each one out as thinly as possible on a floured surface. Brush with melted butter or oil as you layer the sheets for your desired recipe.
