Homemade Phyllo Pastry Recipe with step by step pictures. Phyllo means leaf or sheet in Greek, refers to the pastry that is wrapped around savory and sweet pies.
Take flour, salt, oil, vinegar in a bowl. Mix well. pour in warm water and knead it to a firm dough. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 mins to 1 hour.
Divide it into 30 equal balls. dust with some cornstarch and set aside covered.
Take five balls and roll it gently. I rolled it till it is in the size of my palm. Once the five balls are rolled. Dust it with cornstarch generously and stack over each other.
Roll it gently without giving much pressure. Once it is rolled a bit, i like to peel each layer carefully and gently dust some more cornstarch over the sheets. Stack them again and roll even more till thin.
Once the sheets are rolled almost the size of the pan which you are going to bake. Gently peel each layers separately.
Place it in a plate which is dusted heavily with cornstarch. Cover the sheets with damp cloth and set aside. Repeat this for the remaining dough.
Now use this for making baklava or spring rolls or anything.
