Handling and preparation tips
Proper thawing: To prevent cracking and sticking, thaw the dough in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Keep moist: Always keep the dough covered with a damp cloth while working to prevent the sheets from drying out.
Brush each layer: Use melted butter or oil to brush each layer of fillo dough to ensure a golden color and crispy texture.
Work quickly: Fillo dough dries out quickly once exposed to air, so it is best to work quickly.
Embrace imperfections: If the sheets tear, simply patch them up and continue layering, as it will not be noticeable once baked.
