Work with filo pastry


The Hummus Recipes Kitchen (The home of Hummus Recipes & Delicious Middle Eastern Recipes) invites you to learn how to work with filo pastry.

Filo pastry is very delicate and dries out easily. Follow these tips for recipe success.

Tip 1: Prepare the filling before you start. Filo pastry dries out and cracks very quickly when it comes in contact with air.

Tip 2: Cover the filo with non-stick baking paper or a dry tea towel, then a damp tea towel. This prevents the filo from drying out.

Tip 3: Place filo, 1 sheet at a time, on a clean work surface and brush with melted butter or oil between layers. This ensures a flaky result.
