Greek Phyllo Dough

Cultural Context

Phyllo dough, a staple of Greek cuisine, is known for its delicate, flaky texture and is used in various traditional dishes like baklava and spanakopita. This dough is made by rolling out thin layers, which can be stacked to create a crispy pastry. Its origins trace back to the Ottoman Empire, and it remains a beloved ingredient in Mediterranean cooking today, with variations found in many cultures worldwide.
