How to Prepare Phyllo Dough

Video Transcript

Hi I'm Leah on behalf of Expert Village and today I'm going to show you how to make some quick and easy Turkish dishes. The traditional way to make this dish is by using a Turkish filo, which is called yufka, it's just a little bit thicker. Today we're just going to use the Greek filo, and to thicken it up we're just going to use more layers. So to start out on my bottom layer, I'm just going to take two layers of the regular filo, sit it down, and we're going to brush it with our oil, yogurt mixture, it also has the egg in there. We're just going to brush it, we're going to coat it evenly. Make sure you get the edges so when we roll it up it will seal. We'll do another layer before we actually add the filling, so add two more. By using multiple layers, if you tear it or if it doesn't roll very well, it's going to be very forgiving, you're not going to be able to see any of the tears. Filo can sometime be a little intimidating to work with because it does tear so easily. The only thing to keep in mind is your not using just one layer, so if one tears just stick another one on it, by the time it cooks you're not going to be able to tell at all the difference between the layers. Make sure again that you get the edges and we'll be ready to add the filling.
