Filo dough, also known as phyllo, is a paper-thin pastry originating from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. Typically made from flour, water, and a small amount of oil or vinegar, this unleavened dough is known for its delicate, flaky texture when baked. Filo is a staple in dishes like baklava and spanakopita, offering versatility for both sweet and savory creations. While naturally low in fat and calories due to its lean ingredients, its health profile largely depends on how it’s prepared; recipes often involve butter or oil between the layers, adding significant fat content. Filo is cholesterol-free and suitable for vegetarian diets, but moderation is key as many dishes using filo can be calorie-dense. Its thin, crisp layers provide a satisfying texture, making it a popular choice in global cuisine.
