How to prepare original Phyllo Dough
- To make phyllo dough, put all the ingredients together in a bowl, mix slowly at first and then more energetically until you get a homogeneous ball of dough. Using a knife, divide the dough into four equal parts and wrap each part in plastic wrap. Let the dough rest for two hours.
- After the indicated time, knead one of the four parts, sprinkle with cornstarch and roll out the dough - with the help of a rolling pin or pasta maker.
- You must roll out the dough until it is so thin that it is transparent. At this point, cut the rolled-out phyllo dough sheet into four parts.
- Sprinkle the four layers of pastry and place them one on top of the other. Now, roll out the dough again: first lengthways, then widthways. Repeat the operation for all four parts of the dough. Your phyllo dough is now ready to be used in various recipes!
