How to make a Fillo Pastry wreath

Watch this video to learn how to make a Fillo Pastry wreath

  1. Lay one sheet of Filo Pastry in front of you and brush with olive oil. Repeat with another two sheets of Fillo Pastry.

  2. Spread one tablespoon of mixture across the sheet. Repeat this process another two times until you have a stack of 9 sheets of Filo Pastry in total.

  3. With the long edge of the Filo Pastry facing you, roll the stack tightly to form a log. Brush the log with olive oil. Create a second log using this same process.

  4. Using a sharp knife, cut each log in half lengthwise, ensuring you cut all the way through the pastry. You will have 4 lengths in total.

  5. Place two lengths next to each other with their cut-side up.

  6. Twist the two halves together to form a plait.

  7. Transfer the plait to the baking tray and form a semi circle, ensuring the cut side is facing up. Repeat with the remaining two lengths and transfer to the baking tray to form a wreath shape.

  8. Overlap the ends slightly to enclose the wreath (don’t worry if it’s not perfect, it’s supposed to be rustic).

  9. Brush the wreath liberally with olive oil. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.

  10. Bake the wreath for 30 minutes or until golden and crisp. Serve warm.
