Phyllo Dough: ChatGPT explains what Phyllo dough is: "Phyllo dough is a very thin, unleavened dough used in Greek and Middle Eastern cuisine for making pastries, such as baklava, as well as savory dishes, such as spanakopita and burek, and is made by rolling and stretching layers of dough to create thin sheets that are often brushed with butter or oil to create a flaky texture."

Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour 

1 teaspoon salt 

1 1/4 cups warm water 

1 tablespoon white vinegar 

1/4 cup vegetable oil 

Instructions: 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. 

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the warm water, white vinegar, and vegetable oil. 

Mix the ingredients together until they form a dough. 

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. 

Divide the dough into 24 equal-sized pieces. 

Roll each piece into a ball and cover with a damp cloth. 

Let the balls of dough rest for at least 30 minutes. 

After the dough has rested, roll each ball out into a thin, almost transparent sheet. 

You can use a rolling pin or a pasta maker to do this. 

Use the phyllo dough sheets to make baklava or other desserts as desired. 

Note: When working with phyllo dough, it's important to keep it covered with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out. You should also brush each layer with butter or oil before baking to help keep the layers separate and crispy.
