Greek Phyllo Dough for Pies

Making homemade phyllo dough takes some effort, but the results are definitely worth it! 

If you’ve ever tasted traditional Greek pies like spanakopita or spanakotyropita, you know that the secret to the crispy, flaky texture is in the dough. 

To achieve the thinnest sheets, you’ll need a special wooden rolling stick (or a similar tool) and a large surface to work on. 

It’s a bit of a workout, but trust me, it’s the authentic way, and it makes your pies absolutely delicious! This recipe is dedicated to my mum, the master of phyllo, who taught me everything I know.

Love spinach and feta? Imagine them wrapped in golden, crispy phyllo with fragrant dill—this is spanakotyropita, a classic from my home region, Thessaly, famous for its pies. 

While ready-made phyllo makes it quick and easy, homemade dough takes it to the next level. Whether you go traditional or take the shortcut, this pie brings the taste of Greece to your kitchen.
