What is filo pastry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Filo pastry is a wafer-thin dough that is brushed with butter and layered when preparing a dish. The vegan dough<\/strong> is very popular in the Levant. But not only in the Levant, but also in other Middle Eastern countries and parts of the Balkans. Whether baklava<\/a>, b\u00f6rek or rekak<\/a>, filo pastry is used for some classic dishes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is unclear exactly which country the filo pastry (or phyllo pastry<\/strong>) comes from. Many countries claim the original recipe for themselves and there is no clear literature on the subject. As with so many dishes in the Levant, each region adds its own secret ingredient or creates its own variation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
