Best Middle Eastern Desserts Made with Phyllo

I’ll be the first to admit that I absolutely love desserts! Some of my favorite Middle Eastern dishes are desserts, and I know exactly why: phyllo! Though it is often mistaken for puff pastry, phyllo is a dough native to the Middle East made from flour, water, and a little bit of oil. It is rolled into thin, nearly translucent sheets of dough and used to make such sweets as baklava and konafah. It bakes into a crisp, golden brown dough that can be used in everything from main dishes to desserts.
