Filo Dough

Cultural Context

Filo dough, originating from the Mediterranean, particularly Greece and Turkey, is a staple in many traditional pastries like baklava and spanakopita. Its name means 'leaf' in Greek, reflecting its thin, delicate layers that create a crispy texture when baked. Filo is celebrated for its versatility and is now embraced globally, appearing in both sweet and savory dishes across various cuisines.
