General Fillo Dough Handling Directions


  • Allow fillo dough to thaw in refrigerator overnight. Bring to room temperature before using.
  • Carefully unroll fillo sheets onto a smooth, dry surface.
  • Cover fillo completely with plastic wrap, then a damp towel.
  • Keep fillo covered until needed. Do not leave uncovered for more than one minute to avoid drying out.
  • Microwave butter until melted. This will give you a lighter and flakier pastry.
  • Brush each layer of fillo with melted butter, margarine or oil.
  • To prevent edges from cracking, brush edges first and then work into center.
  • Be sure to brush the last layer of fillo with melted butter.
  • Fillings should be chilled and not excessively moist.
  • Fillo may be rolled and refrozen to store when not in use.
