Cooking Recipe

The recipe for phyllo dough is very simple. Pour olive oil, warm water, vinegar into the sifted flour, add salt and knead into an elastic dough. Wrap the dough in film and set aside for 1-2 hours.

When the dough has rested, divide it into 20 parts and cover with film. It is better to do this using scales. Each piece of dough should weigh 20 grams. Mix corn starch with flour. Sprinkle the table with the resulting mixture, roll out each piece of dough, sprinkling with the starch mixture.

Roll out the dough to approximately 10 cm in diameter. Sprinkle each tortilla well with the corn mixture and place one on top of the other. Next, roll out a stack of 5 tortillas very thin, each time sprinkling with corn mixture. Filo dough is ready, cover each sheet with baking paper and film.
