Freshly made phyllo dough (also spelled "filo")

I new you could make this from scratch I finally found a recipe!

Freshly made phyllo dough (also spelled "filo") is always preferable, and it isn't difficult. Use a pasta machine to make sheets of thin to thick dough to use for pitas and pastries. The alternative, rolling it out with a rolling pin, takes time and experience to master (see below for special instructions). This dough is ideal for small fried and baked pies, as well as pan-sized pie crusts.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
8 cups of all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons of raki (or white vinegar)
2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil
juice of 1 lemon
1 1/4 - 1 1/3 cups of hot water
flour for work surface and hands
Preparation:
Note: The key to the recipe is hot water. Use hottest tap water.
To roll out with a pasta machine: (photo tutorial)
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix by hand until it holds together. On a floured surface, knead by hand for 15-20 minutes until soft and malleable, with a smooth feel. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight before using.
To make phyllo sheets for pastries, run it through the pasta machine (with settings from 1-10, with 1 being the thickest), gradually working it down to setting mark 9 on your machine. For phyllo sheets to make small fried pitas, use setting number 6.
Unused phyllo can be kept in the refrigerator, in air-tight wrapping, for up to 10 days after making.
Yield: approximately 3 pounds

Make Your Own Flour Tortillas

There are a lot of items you can make yourself. I ususally stock up on tortillas when they are on sale at the store. I have had success freezing them. Sometimes it's fun to make a couple batches of your own and they are quite cheap to make.

Makes about 12 tortillas

- 4 cups Unbleached all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 4 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable shortening or Lard
- 1 1/2 cups Warm water or more if needed

Mix flour, salt and baking powder in a large bowl. Gradually work the shortening or lard into the flour with a pastry blender (A pastry blender helps make the texture that you want with tortillas). Continue mixing until the flour and shortening (or lard) is completely mixed. Next, start adding water until the dough is soft but not so much that it becomes sticky.

Once the dough is ready, make three ounce balls of dough. You can use a small scale to get an idea of how big three ounce portions should be. Role each ball until they are about 1/8 inch thick and 6 incches in diamater (a great size for fajitas).

Too cook the tortillas, heat a skillet on medium high heat. Place the tortillas one at a time on a dry skillet. Cook until they are light brown and then flip and then flip over and brown the other side.

Now you have fresh warm tortillas! You can eat them warm or store them for later in the fridge.

Ingredients
1 Tube 10 oz Pillsbury pizza Dough
2 tb Butter
1 ts Garlic salt
Kraft 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese

Preparation
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Unroll the dough on a cutting board. Position it lengthwise (longer from let to right than from top to bottom). With a sharp kinfe, cut the dough in half down the middle. Then cut each of those halves vertically in half, and then in half once more so that you have 8 even strips of dough. Being careful not to stretch the dough, place each strip on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the top just turns golden brown. While the dough bakes, melt the butter (on the stove or in the microwave on high for 15 to 20 seconds), then add the garlic salt and stir until it dissolves. Remove the browned dough from the oven and with a pastry brush or spoon spread a coating of garlic butter over each piece. Sprinkle a generous amount of Parmesan cheese on each.
