Filo or phyllo dough is a paper-thin pastry that is used in Mediterranean cuisine.  Due to its thin nature, filo dries out quickly and becomes extremely fragile when exposed to air. Therefore, extra care is needed when you're using filo in your baking like with this classic Greek baklava recipe, börek, spanakopita, strudel, tiropita, and more! Once you've worked with filo, you'll find this is truly an easy baklava recipe!
