  • About

THIS CRUNCHY phyllo has a pleasing texture similar to that of a thin biscuit, which it retains as it cools. When fried, tiny bubbles form in the pastry, making it crispy, almost like a rustic puff pastry. The soft and pliable dough can be easily rolled out with a rolling pin. Cretan Phyllo is particularly good for making small fried pies, like Finger-Sized Fried Greens Pies and Onion, Tomato and Feta Turnovers.
