Make the Phyllo Dough

For the phyllo dough:

  • 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of olive oil
  • water

Make a hole in the middle of the flour and add 1/4 cup of water to start. Mix with a fork. Add the olive oil and continue mixing, adding more water if needed to make a soft dough.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead by hand, oiling hands if needed, until the dough is soft, malleable, and smooth, about 10 minutes.

Divide the dough into four equal pieces and roll each piece out to a rough oval shape, about 22 inches across. Drizzle with a little olive oil.
