If you want to challenge yourself with making your own pastry, absolutely, go for it! It is not the hardest thing at all! I do encourage you to do it! Homemade pastry can be made in several ways and phyllo pastry is probably the most challenging one to make at home. I do make my own pastry just like in this buffalo chicken bites recipe when I have some extra time and that is very rewarding as at least you know the recipe it's made all from scratch.
