Phyllo Dough Recipe.

Ingredients:

For Dough
2 Cups All Purpose Flour
5 TSP Olive Oil
1/2 TSP Salt
2 TSP White Wine Vinegar
3/4 Cups Warm Water
For Starch Mixture
1/2 Cup Cornstarch
2 TBSP All Purpose Flour

Recipe Instructions:

In a large, clean glass mixing bowl, add 2 cups of all purpose flour and make a well in the middle.
Drizzle in the olive oil and add the salt, white wine vinegar and warm water.
Mix until the dough just begins to come together and starts pulling away from the side of the bowl.
Transfer to a lightly floured work surface.
Knead the dough until it is smooth, using just enough additional flour to keep it from sticking to the work surface and your hands.
After kneading for about 6 minutes the dough will supple and elastic, at this stage, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and allow to rest at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
Remove the dough from the plastic wrap and divide into 20 equal sized portions, roll each portion into a ball and place on a plate covered in plastic wrap to prevent from drying out.
Mix cornstarch and flour together in a bowl and dust the work surface with the cornstarch mixture.
Flatted out the first ball of dough and roll it into a circle roughly 5-6 inches in diameter.
Dust again with a little of the cornstarch mixture and set aside.
Roll 4 more dough balls in the same way stacking each one on top of the previously rolled ball until you have a stack of rolled dough 5 layer high.
When 5 layers have been stacked, take the stack and roll it out into a larger, 10-12 inch diameter stack of dough, separate the layers, dust again with cornstarch mixture as needed and restack, roll again until the stack is paper thin.
Place on a sheet of p[parchment paper, top with another sheet of parchment paper, gently roll and place in a plastic, air-tight back and refrigerate.
Continue with the remaining 15 balls of dough, in batches of 5.
Use as required.
