Create your own phyllo dough at home with this easy-to-follow recipe, perfect for savory or sweet dishes.
Combine the flour and salt in a mixing bowl.
Use a whisk to evenly distribute the salt in the flour.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the water and olive oil.
Pour the liquids gradually to prevent over-saturating the flour.
Mix the ingredients until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 8 minutes.
Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Resting allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll out.
Roll out the dough into a thin sheet, as thin as possible.
Rotate the dough frequently to maintain an even thickness.
Cut the dough into desired sheet sizes using a sharp knife.
Use a ruler for precise cuts if uniformity is important.
