So, what is filo?
Filo, also known as phyllo or fillo, is a delicate pastry made of thin, paper-like sheets of dough. It is commonly used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine to make savory and sweet dishes such as baklava and spanakopita. The dough is typically brushed with butter or oil between each layer, giving it a flaky texture when baked. Filo can be purchased pre-made or homemade, and is a versatile ingredient that can be used in both traditional and modern recipes. Its light and crispy texture makes it a popular choice for appetizers, desserts, and even main courses.
