  • 1 lb. of Flour
  • Additional Flour
  • 2 Eggs (beaten)
  • 1 tsp. of Salt
  • 1 cup of Water
  • 3 tbsp. of Olive Oil


1) Sieve flour and salt into a large bowl. Mix in the oil by rubbing it with your fingers. Gradually mix in 1 cup of water or the eggs with 1/2 cup of water.

2) Knead the dough on a floured pastry board until it is smooth and elastic. If necessary, add more flour to make it stiff. Cover and leave to rest for 30 minutes.

2) Divide dough into 8 balls. Flatten each ball with a thin rolling pin on a floured pastry board and roll out to less than 1/8 inch thick. If you want a very thin pastry sheet, roll each phyllo round the rolling pin and roll it lightly backwards and forwards until it becomes, not paper thin, but very thin. Use as required.

Serving Suggestions: Stuff any Meat or Fruit into the pastry sheets and bake.
