Greek Recipes - Fun With Filo
Greek food comprises a wide range of delicious cuisine and makes great use of olive oil, vegetables, herbs, grains, and meats.
In particular, filo is a popular Greek pastry, dough made from very thin sheets of raw flour dough.
Here we're going to look at how to make your own filo and a recipe to use it with.
Filo Ingredients 2 cups of sifted flour 1 tsp salt 1/2 cup water 2 tbsp salad oil Sift your flour and salt it into a bowl.
Warm the water a little then gradually add it to the flour, stirring as you go to make a stiff dough.
Knead the dough and use oil to avoid having your hands stick to it.
By the time the oil is used up you'll have a smooth elastic dough ball, then allow the dough to settle for a couple of hours.
Take 1/4 of the dough and roll it to about 1/4 inch thickness on a pastry board rubbed with cornstarch.
Cover and let rest for a few minutes.
Now you want to stretch the dough out until it's as thin as paper.
Tidy it up and cut into appropriately-sized pieces and it can either be used fresh and moist, or allowed to dry.
