How to properly thaw your phyllo dough

[seleanor]

When buying phyllo dough, you will notice that it is usually in the freezer section. I usually stock up on a few phyllo dough packs because I do not live super close to the Greek supermarket. When you want to make your dessert, make sure you take your dough and put it in the fridge overnight so that it can thaw properly. Thawing it on the countertop at room temperature will make the dough soggy and it will fall apart when you're trying to form it. Best of luck!

Thanks for the great advice, what type of phyllo dough do you use?

We have to stock up too! Stores often go out of stock, and if I need the phyllo for an important occasion, it's annoying when I can't find any. This is an excellent tip for storing it and defrosting it.
