HOMEMADE PHYLLO (OR FILO) DOUGH
I'm no expert at making phyllo dough, but the good news is, despite that, I still managed to achieve some fairly excellent results, and suspect you will as well. And it's way more fun than buying it frozen from the store.

Steps:
- Place 2 cups flour in a mixing bowl; make a well in the center. Drizzle in olive oil and add salt; add white wine vinegar and warm water. Mix until dough just comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, 1 or 2 minutes. Transfer dough ball to a lightly floured work surface.
- Knead until dough is smooth, using just enough flour to keep it from sticking to the work surface or your hands, 2 or 3 minutes. Continue to knead until dough is supple and elastic, about 5 more minutes. Wrap dough ball in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature, 1 to 2 hours.
- Divide dough into 20 (20 gram) portions using a kitchen scale; roll each portion into a ball. Place on plate and cover with plastic wrap to prevent dough balls from drying out while you begin to roll them out. Work in batches of 5.
- Mix cornstarch and 2 tablespoons flour together in a bowl. Dust a work surface and the first dough ball with the cornstarch mixture. Flatten out the dough ball and roll out into a circle, about 5 inches in diameter. Dust again with cornstarch mixture. Set circle to one side. Roll out 4 more dough balls to about the same diameter and stack them on the first one, dusting each layer with more of the cornstarch mixture to keep them from sticking together.
- When you have 5 circles, roll out the stack to a larger circle about double in size, turning as you go to maintain a round shape. Separate each layer and lay out the circles. Re-apply more cornstarch mixture where needed and restack them. Roll again until the 5-layer stack is paper thin, about 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Place on a sheet of parchment paper; top with another piece of parchment. Gently roll up the dough; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate.
- Repeat with the remaining 15 balls of dough in batches of 5.

Steps:
- Make the filling by briskly stirring together the whole egg, brown sugar, and pecans. Set aside.
- Prepare by setting out your ingredients, a pastry brush, and cookie sheet covered in aluminum foil and sprayed with cooking spray. Set the oven to 350.
- Follow the directions on the box of Filo dough to help keep the sheets moist while working to make these.
- Lay out one sheet of Filo dough and brush with egg white, layer next sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray.Continue until you have done 5 sheets.
- After you've set the fifth sheet down, sprinkle 1/2 cup almonds over the top evenly.
- Continue alternating egg white and cooking spray with another 5 sheets of dough.
- Next, gently spread the filling mixture, taking care to spread it evenly without damaging the layers of dough.
- Add the next sheet and continue as in the beginning by alternating sheets brushed with egg white, and sheets sprayed with cooking spray until you again have 5 complete.
- Spread another 1/2 cup of almonds over the top, and continue again with the layering of the Filo dough sheets until all sheets have been brushed/sprayed.
- There should be twenty sheets total and you should have three filled "layers".
- Cute the large rectangle into quadrants and layer them on top of one another. Place the layered pastry onto a prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 for approx 40-50 minutes until golden.
- Allow to cool and then cut into 9 pieces.

CHEDDAR BROCCOLI STRUDEL
This is the first recipe I ever made with filo pastry (or phyllo, found in the frozen section of the grocery store). I was brave and made it for a dinner party for a bunch of non-vegetarian friends. It turned out beautifully, with a golden flaky crust and savory cheese-broccoli filling. Rave reviews. Some Notes: 1. Use really good bread crumbs, you can make 'em yourself using good bread thats a few days old and either a food processor or a cheese grater. 2. You can make it vegan easily enough by substituting soy cheese or omitting the cheese completely. 3. I think this is from a Mollie Katzen cookbook :)

- To assemble: Place one sheet of phyllo on a clean, dry countertop. Brush the top lightly with olive oil, then add a second sheet. continue this process until there is a pile of five sheets. Add half the filling in the shape of a log to the short end of the phyllo pastry. fold in the sides (about 1/2 inch), then gently roll up so you have a neat little log (this process is easier than it sounds, think of it as a pastry burrito).
- Repeat the procedure to make a second roll.
- Carefully lift the pastries onto the baking sheet 4 inches apart.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
- Cut slices with a serated edge knife in a gentle sawing motion.

HOMEMADE PHYLLO PASTRY
Something I came across while living abroad. Many of the older generation living in the area referred to as the holy land, will use only the homemade version. I don't expect anyone to actually try it, but then again, one never knows. I personally prefer the homemade, as it has a fresher taste than commercially frozen fillo dough's, and the frozen kind can often break if opened too soon, or while warming to room temp, one became rather sticky on me. equipment needed: rolling pin, wooden dowel no less than 24 inches long and 3/4 inch diameter, large cloth, and wax paper.

Steps:
- Sift flour and salt into a mixing bowl and add the water with oil.
- Stir until forms soft dough, then knead in the bowl about 10 minutes.
- Dough will feel sticky at first, but kneading, it should develop into a dough that becomes smooth and satiny.
- When well mixed and smooth, wrap pastry in plastic wrap and leave it to rest at room temperature about one hour.
- If not all the dough is being used right away, wrap the unused portion and keep chilled in fridge up to a week.
- Always bring to room temp before using.
- Divide the pastry into 12 equal portions, shaping them into smooth balls.
- Cover with a cloth, except the one you're working with.
- Take a ball of dough, and shape it into a square.
- Place it on a lightly floured surface, and roll into a 6 inch square using rolling pin.
- Dust again with flour.
- Take the dowel, and place on one end of the pastry, and roll neatly onto the dowel, pressing firmly as you do so.
- Keep hands on each side of the pastry.
- Unroll the pastry and dust the work surface and pastry with a little flour, and roll up again from opposite side as before, exerting pressure as you go.
- Unroll carefully.
- After second rolling, the pastry should be about 10x12 inches.
- Using the back of your hands, place them under the pastry and stretch gently, moving hands to keep it even, working toward the edges.
- The edges can be given a final stretch with the fingertips.
- You should wind up with a pastry that's 14x18 inches in size.
- Place on a cloth, cover with wax paper and fold the cloth over the top.
- Repeat the above process with remaining dough balls, laying each on top of the previous one with wax paper between them.
- Use soon after making as they'll go sour if you keep them too long.
- If desired, you can roll them out more thinly.
- Repeating the dowel rolling process more will result in a thinner square each time.
- Phyllo can be used like a puff pastry when thicker, or it's wonderful in baklawa, lamb pastries, or many other mid eastern sweets when rolled very thin.
- In Greece, they'll often use phyllo as a crust for certain types of pies, such as spinach.
