It’s actually very easy to work with if you follow the instructions. Let it thaw completely in the fridge before using. While you’re using it to make the baklava layers, cover the unused portion with a damp tea towel. Honestly, I’ve been making baklava for years and the only times I have trouble with the phyllo are when I let it thaw on the counter or I don’t let it thaw long enough. Good luck!

I also gave some to our youth pastor you has served in both Albania and Russia and to another of our pastors…I added a bit of nutmeg to Christmas it up and it was a hit! I had never made it before, but I got one “she must be greek” and one “it’s not too sweet like others I’ve had”. I’ll do it again!
