Phyllo Dough Facts

You have a recipe that asks for Phyllo dough.

For starters, what is it and where can you find it?

Phyllo dough is found in the freezer section of most grocery stores.

It is usually found near the frozen fruit or piecrusts. The box is usually quite long (about 14-16 inches) and only about 2x3" around.

Phyllo dough is very thin slices of dough that can be layered for tender desserts or wrappings.

Once you get it home, place it in the refrigerator over night before attempting to use.

When you are ready to start your recipe, unroll the dough on your work surface and keep it covered with a damp towel. (I place a dry towel over the top then spritz with my water bottle just until damp)

Now when you are ready to use, uncover and cut the amount that you need and cover the remaining again until ready to cut more.

Once you are done with any remaining, place in the freezer in a tightly sealed container until you need again.

Don’t forget to allow 24 hours for defrosting in the fridge before using again.
