Filo Pastry Recipe FAQs

What is filo pastry?

Filo pastry is a thin, unleavened dough used in layered dishes. It becomes crisp and flaky when baked, ideal for both sweet and savoury recipes.

Is filo pastry vegan?

Most store-bought filo pastry is vegan, made with flour, water, and a little oil—check the packaging to be sure.

Is filo gluten free?

Traditional filo pastry is made with wheat flour and is not gluten free. However, some brands offer gluten-free alternatives.

What is the difference between filo and puff pastry?

Filo is thin and layered manually with oil or butter, while puff pastry has layers formed by folding dough with butter. Filo is crisp and light; puff is rich and flaky.

What to make with filo pastry?

Try filo pies, spinach and feta parcels, sweet baklava, or crispy filo rolls. The options are endless, from light snacks to filling meals.

How to use filo pastry?

Defrost carefully, keep it covered to prevent drying and brush with butter or oil between layers. Bake until golden and crisp.

What are filo sheets?

Filo sheets are the individual layers of thin dough used to make pastries. You can stack, fold, or roll them to create various dishes.

Is filo pastry easy to cook with?

Yes! Once you get the hang of layering and brushing, it’s a quick and impressive base for sweet and savoury recipes.

Can I freeze filo pastry dishes?

Yes, many filo dishes freeze well before baking. Assemble your pie or parcels, then freeze. Bake from frozen or thaw overnight.

Can I reheat filo pastry?

Yes. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results. Avoid the microwave, which can make filo soggy.
