(Redirected from Phyllo) Filo (or phyllo) (Greek: ÏÏÎ»Î»Î¿ leaf) is a very thin unleavened dough used for making pastries such as baklava and bÃ¶rek in Middle Eastern, Greek, and Balkan cuisines. Filo-based pastries are made by layering many sheets of filo brushed with olive oil; the pastry is then baked.
In baklava, layers of crisp phyllo dough alternate with a sugary spiced nut mixture, and the whole thing is then soaked in fragrant sweet syrup made with honey, lemon and cinnamon. Itâs an exotic and decadent treat to be sure.n baklava, layers of crisp phyllo dough alternate with a sugary spiced nut mixture, and the whole thing is then soaked in fragrant sweet syrup made with honey, lemon and cinnamon.
