Making Baklava: Tips on Keeping Phyllo Dough Moist

[SusanK]

The recipe in the Season's Best cookbook says to re-wrap the phyllo dough in plastic to keep it moist in between putting together each banana bundle -- I make baklava quite frequently and I have always put a damp towell over the phyllo dough, it takes less time than re-wraping and keeps/adds moisture into the dough. Be careful, use a damp, not wet towell, too much water and the dough will stick together.

Thanks for the tip Susan! Phyllo dough can be tough to work with sometimes! Which is why I haven't tried the phyllo cheesecake tart yet!!
