Add more flour to the work surface if necessary, and roll out the dough.

  • For the small fried cheese and savory pies that we're making in this series, use setting number 6 (photo).

  • If you're an experienced baker ready to use thin sheets for baking, run the dough through setting number 9 to roll out the thin sheets.

Hold the end of the phyllo as it comes through the machine, drawing it out gently to lay flat.
