How Many Layers of Phyllo Dough Should I Use?

Savory or Sweet Pastries: For making individual savory or sweet pastries, like turnovers or samosas, you typically use 2 to 3 sheets of phyllo dough per pastry.

Tarts: For phyllo dough tarts, such as spinach and feta tart or fruit tarts, you might use 4 to 6 sheets of phyllo dough.

Baklava and Strudels: For layered desserts like baklava or apple strudel, you might use 8 to 10 sheets of phyllo dough or more, alternating with layers of nuts, fruits, or sweet fillings.

Casserole Dishes: When using phyllo dough in a casserole dish, such as for a moussaka or a spanakopita casserole, you might use 8 to 12 sheets to create a sturdy base and top layer.
