  1. Lay a piece of baking paper on a clean surface.  

  2. Lay one sheet of Fillo Pastry on top of the baking paper with the shorter edge facing you.

  3. Brush liberally with olive oil.  

  4. Lay another sheet on top of the Fillo (longer edge facing you) to form a “+” (plus).  

  5. Take two more sheets of Fillo and place on top to form an “X”, ensuring all sheets are brushed with olive oil.  

  6. Repeat this process once more to form a stack, 8 sheets thick.

  7. Begin folding the outer edges of the Fillo stack towards the centre to form a circle shape, creating the crust of the pizza. 

  8. Make sure it fits the pizza tray then brush the edges with olive oil.
