fyllo

Phyllo. Thin pastry sheets or leaves (φύλλα in Greek) spelled filo or fillo in English, used to make many desserts and savoury pies. Unlike puff pastry, Phyllo is made almost entirely of flour and water. Used in a vast range of sweet and savoury dishes, it becomes crisp and flaky when baked. Some people make it from scratch, but most cooks buy it ready made.
