A Couple of Tips from the Experts
Unlike other commercial brands, our dough is made in small, tightly controlled batches using special state of the art equipment that produces silkier, smoother, more refined Fillo. It bakes up delicate and flaky (never tough or brittle), as close to “handcrafted” as possible. Here are some helpful guidelines for working with Fillo. Our frozen organic Fillo doughs (White Wheat, and Whole Wheat) made with organic Spelt, should be placed in the refrigerator for at least 7-8 hours or overnight to thaw. Allow unopened Fillo package to stand at room temperature for about 1/2 hour before using.
• Prepare all ingredients for recipe first.
• Remove fillo from package and lay on a flat dry surface. Cover with wax paper or foil and follow recipe instructions.
• Re-roll any unused fillo sheets and seal in a plastic bag.
• Dough can be refrozen up to 3 months or stored in the refrigerator 2 weeks.
• Be sure to keep dough moist when putting recipes together – to ensure crispness do not use overly moist fillings.
• While traditional dishes call for brushing each fillo leaf with melted butter, try a light coating of safflower, olive, or other cooking oil on every second layer. You can also use most cooking sprays with excellent results.
In
our travels, we sometimes discover on-line or hard copy cook books that
we feel add value to talented Fillo dough enthusiasts/artists such as
yourself. We thought we would share them with you here.
