Anyone ever use phyllo dough?

amberg321 · August 2009

This is probably more of a post for the Whats Cookin board but maybe you guys can help me. I accidentaly bought phyllo dough instead of puff pastry and dont know what to make with it. Anyone have any phyllo dough ideas?

Where the heck did you find it? I have been looking for that dang stuff for a few recipes I have. I can't tell you what they are right now because I kind of wrote them off until I find that dough. I have a recipe book at home that I can look at and tell you what to make with it.

I think one recipe was a pot pie looking thing.

amberg321 · August 2009

Pot pie is usually with puff pastry because that is what I was going to try and make. I dont what the heck to do with phyllo dough. I think thats more for greek food

yea, there's pie like things you can make with it. It looks like triangles of flaky crust on top instead of regular dough.

Ooh, you can make turnover looking things with it! I'm looking at all the pictures of food using that dough. YUM! You never answered my question! Where did you get it? I can't find it at the store.

Oh, sorry. I got it at Staters. It was near the frozen pie crusts if that helps

amberg321 · August 2009

Kasi- that website has a ton of recipes. Thanks!

jojochanti · August 2009

i was just scrolling down to say baklava. yum.

Kasi80 · August 2009

No problemo. I'd never even heard of that stuff until I needed it and couldn't find it. :P

amberg321 · August 2009

Baklava is super yummy but its one of those things I can never eat very much of. I have a few pieces and I'm good. My mom swears that the greek stand at market night in Redlands has the best Baklava ever. She will buy a whole pan of it. I wonder if it freezes well?

butterflygrooves · August 2009

They have baklava at the gyro stand?!?!?!?!?! OMG I'm going this week!

mc108 · August 2009

I think you can make cream cheese wontons with phyllo dough...

amberg321 · August 2009

Not the first greek stand but the second stand. The one with the awesome picture from the 80's of the blonde girl eating a gyro

amberg321 · August 2009

Like the kind at the chinese restaurants MC? Those things are so freakin good!

mc108 · August 2009

yeah...I'm pretty sure you just cut it in squares and put a spoonfull of cream cheese in the middle then fold up the sides and seal them with egg and deep fry them...I love love love them!!
