Round or Wrapped Shapes:
Follow general directions below for handling filo dough.
- Unroll 9 sheets of fillo dough, and melt 4 tablespoons butter.
- Brush 1/2 sheet with melted butter and fold in half lengthwise.
- Place folded sheet over plate or outline the approximate size of the food to be wrapped, allowing excess fillo to overlap and extend beyond outline.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 with 6 additional sheets.
- Prepare 2 more sheets as described in step 2 and place them crosswise directly over center of outline.
- Place food in center of stack and carefully draw fillo up and around food.
- Brush with butter and place at least 1 inch apart on cookie sheet or baking pan. Bake in preheated 350 degree F oven about 15 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Tip:
Use with Camembert, boursin, brie or any small round cheese. You can also wrap pears, apples and other fruit.
