  2. Add the flour gradually as you knead. Make a soft and pliable dough that doesn't stick to your hands.

  6. Take the right side of the filo sheet and fold it up to the middle. This is effectively, 1/4 of the sheet. Then take the left side of the sheet and fold it over the side that is brushed with margarine.

  7. Brush the two folded sides with margarine and fold once more. This way, you have a long and narrow filo sheet.

  11. Roll out a filo sheet that is as large as the baking tray that you will be using. Spread greaseproof paper on the tray and set the filo aside for 30 minutes at room temperature. Roll out the second ball of dough in the same way.
