Phyllo dough is known for its use in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Baltic cuisine. This super thin dough made from unleavened flour can be used to make a number of desserts like Greek baklava and savory pastries like Turkish börek. Machine-production of phyllo dough was perfected in the 1970s, but you can also make these thin sheets of dough yourself, as long as you're up for the rolling and stretching! When you're ready to bake, phyllo dough can be used fresh or stored in the freezer.
