filo
Baklava's thin dough
Filo is paper-thin pastry dough used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, layered with butter or oil to create flaky textures.
Baklava and spanakopita are classic filo preparations.
The sheets dry out quickly when exposed to air, so cooks keep unused portions covered with damp cloth.
Also spelled phyllo.
