Phyllo Dough
Phyllo dough is an ultra-thin, unleavened pastry dough made from enriched wheat flour, water, and oil, renowned for its paper-like layers that crisp dramatically when baked. Unlike puff pastry, it contains minimal fat in its base form but achieves flakiness through meticulous layering and brushing with butter or oil during preparation. This staple of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines is essential for dishes like baklava and spanakopita, offering a light, crunchy texture while remaining lower in inherent fat than many laminated doughs.
