filo pastry
Thin layered dough
Filo pastry is paper-thin sheets of unleavened dough used in layered pastries.
The sheets are brushed with butter or oil and stacked to create flaky, crisp textures when baked.
It's essential to Greek and Middle Eastern dishes like baklava and spanakopita: She layered the filo pastry with spinach and feta.
Also spelled phyllo.
