pre cut puff pastry squares baklava

Question

How do I make baklava with pre cut puff pastry (4in by 4in squares).  Or should I return it and get puff pastry roll.

Lol. Actually the Greek meaning is leaf, so let's start calling it "leaf pastry". It'll be a thing.

Precisely- "filo" is something or another- an insurance company maybe?  You won't find it in the pastry case, at any rate.

Susan W. · Answer

As Smaug said, you bought the wrong pastry. You can make something fun with those squares, but you need Phyllo dough to make Baklava.

Smaug · Answer

You need Filo dough. And a recipe.
