HOW TO MAKE FILLO NAPOLEONS
1. Follow general directions below for handling Athens and Apollo fillo dough.
2. Melt 3 tablespoons butter. Layer 6 fillo sheets, brushing each with melted
butter.
3. Cut fillo lengthwise into 4 equal strips and then cut 8 diamonds, as shown
in the diagram below. There will be some fillo "waste" (extra pieces) on the
edges. (see step 2A)
4. Repeat 3 times for a total of 32 diamonds of layered fillo.
HOW TO MAKE FILLO GARNISHES
1. Follow general directions below for handling Athens and Apollo fillo dough.
2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter. Layer 4 fillo sheets, brushing each with melted
butter.
3. Cut fillo into desired shape and size (circle, leaves, crescents, etc.).
4. Place fillo shapes at least 1" apart on ungreased cookie sheet lined with
parchment. Cover fillo shapes with sheet of parchment or wax paper, and place
another cookie sheet on top. The cookie sheet should press onto the fillo
dough. (This will prevent the shapes from curling up during baking.)
5. Bake fillo with the pressed cookie sheet over top of pan in preheated 350ºF
oven for 8 minutes or until golden brown. Check occasionally for doneness.
TIPS
1. Sprinkle cinnamon, cocoa, poppy seeds or other flavorings between fillo
sheets for added flavor.
2. Do not coat fillo sheets too thickly; a light dusting will do.
