HOW TO MAKE FILLO ROLLS
1. Follow general directions below for handling Athens and Apollo fillo
dough.
2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter. Layer 5 fillo sheets, brushing each with melted
butter.
3. A. For small rolls or strudels, cut width of layered fillo into 4 strips.
(see step 3A)
B. For medium rolls or strudels, cut width of layered
fillo in half. (see step 3B)
C. For large rolls or strudels,
roll entire fillo sheet. (see step 3C)
4. For small and medium rolls, place cooled filling at one end of fillo strip,
leaving 1" from end and " from each side free of any filling. For large rolls,
leave 1" from each side free of any filling.
5. Fold fillo up over the filling to form a roll. (see step 5)
6. Fold side edges in to enclose the sides. (see step 6)
7. Roll up to the end of fillo strip. (see step 7)
8. Brush outside with butter.
9. Bake small and medium rolls seam side down, at least 1" apart, on ungreased
cookie sheet or baking pan in preheated 350ºF oven for 10 to 15 minutes or
until golden brown. Bake large rolls for 25 to 30 minutes.
HOW TO MAKE STRUDEL ROLLSS
1. Place cheesecloth on a dry counter, then place waxed paper on the
cheesecloth. Unfold fillo sheets and set desired amount on waxed paper. Brush
with butter and spread bread crumbs or chopped nuts on eachsheet as it is
placed on the waxed paper. (Bread crumbs and chopped nuts add more body to
strudel rolls and result in a nicer finished appearance.)
2. Spread filling across the entire length in a 3" strip. Put the filling on
the lower third of the leaves (closest to you) for easier rolling. Filling
should not touch the edges. Tuck or fold the edges at the ends to finish the
strudel. 3. When you have completed rolling the strudel, gently remove the
cloth and wax paper and place roll seam side down on ungreased baking sheet.
4. Strudel can be frozen before it is baked. When ready to use, defrost it 30
minutes before baking. Increase the baking time slightly longer than the recipe
suggests.
5. If you are planning to slice roll after baking. Electric knives work
wonderfully when slicing through fillo products, even when they aren't scored
before baking.
