Short facts : Composed of several thin sheets of filo pastry and ready to go into the oven

Filo pastry is a thin, delicate dough that is commonly used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. It is made by rolling out unleavened dough into very thin sheets, which are then layered with several sheets of filo pastry brushed with oil or butter, to create a flaky texture when baked. Filo pastry is often used to make dishes such as baklava, spanakopita, and samosas. The square sheet of filo pastry is ready to be used in various savoury and sweet dishes.
