Question

What kind of flour should you use for filo pastry?

Answer 1

To make it yourself, or to sprinkle around/under it?

I'd REALLY recommend buying some unless you're a very experienced baker. Even professionals have trouble making it.

Answer 2

You can't beat the frozen filo dough.  For $2 you will save yourself a lot of trouble and whatever you are making will probably come out better anyway.

Answer 3

I think you can just buy filo dough in the store by frozen foods.

Answer 4

Generally white and not bread flour (which has a high gluten content). It is time consuming to make so if you do well done.

Answer 5

my guess would be pastry flour

Answer 6

You're brave !

High protein and low protein flour, acording to a Youtube video.

I can't supply the link, but would advise you to buy it rather than make it.

Answer 7

You can get frozen packages of filo dough at any grocery store .... and also packages of puff pastry dough (right next to the filo dough).  Use what you need, and refreeze the rest......

Answer 8

All purpose or whole wheat

Answer 9

I heard on a cooking show on

TV that youarent supposed to

even try to make filo pastry.

Not even the best chefs on TV

can do it. The only people who

can are crazy Greeks who

have trained for years.
