Where to buy filo pastry sheets

Anyone know where in Munich I can get filo pastry sheets? or puff pastry for that matter.

I'm guessing somewhere like Kaufhof would have it but don't fancy trekking into town to no avail.

thanks

Dunno if there are any around your way, but I buy filo pastry from the Turkish shops on Schwanthalerstr. HIT also have it, but not always.

thanks

Puff pastry is in the frozen section of every Tengelmann HL etc. Always.

I never quite understood the difference between filo pastry, puff pastry and Blätterteig. You can get Blätterteig in chilled section of most supermarkets rolled up.

I buy mine at the Asian Shops in Berlin or at the Turkish Supermarkets (try Bolu - they got a good selection) previous entries on this forum

Do you mean pastry for PIES - then Kaufland has it
If you looking for pastry for Spring Rolls or Samoosas then try the asian markets or turkish shops - they make filo pastry cakes with nuts and honey

a.k.a. baklava.

Try any Turkish shops, they always have filo pastry. It is call Yufka in Turkish.

can one buy normal shortcrust pastry pre-made in Munich? I wanna make Jamie Oliver's bakewell tart, but can't be bothered with making actual pastry.

If it can be bought, what's it called please?

Thanks!

Come on - I make my own & its DEAD EASY - just get the moisture right & dont mix it to death after adding egg/water. Here is my recipe (& you post the filling):

Rich Short Crust Pastry
170g Plain flour
Pinch Salt
100g Butter
1 Egg yolk
2 tablespoons Very cold water

Sift flour with the salt. Rub in fat until it looks like bread crumbs. Mix yolk with 2 tablespoons water and add to mixture. Mix to firm dough. Chill for 30 minutes.

Can someone answer purple muffin's question?

HERE IT IS

If it's Baklava you're making with that filo phyllo pastry dough I'd walk to Munich if you would offer me some . I love Baklava!

Shortcrust pastry does not exist here! You cannot buy it. Leider!!

Blätterteig is puff pastry, butter/fat-heavy and then appears layered as it cooks due to the layers of fat in the mix.
Filo is different, it is thin sheets of pastry, contains no butter but is often brushed with melted butter to cook, can be built up in layers and so looks like puff pastry. Can also be spelt phyllo.
Flaky pastry is a less smooth form of puff pastry where the layers of fat aren't as even so as it cooks it flakes into pieces rather than layers.
Shortcrust neither puffs nor flakes due to the thorough distribution of the fat.

Mürbeteig ...

You can buy Filo pastry in most supermarkets - in the cool section along with packed cheeses etc. you'll find filo pastry and puff pastry already rolled out in a sheet (its sold in a roll). You can't buy ready made short crust pastry here.

I've never seen filo pastry in the normal supermarkets. Have always gone to the Turkish ones around the HBF. Please tell where you've seen it - I would be rapped if its now more widely available...

That would have been much funnier had you added the extra "w"

Penny Markt now sells it.

Jamie's Frangipane/Bakewell Tart

300g unsalted butter
300g caster sugar

Make pastry. stick in a 28cm tin, put in freezer for 1 hour. Oven at 180C and bake for 15mins/golden brown.

Take out, but to one side, oven down to 170C.

Smear jame over bottom of pastry case, pour in chilled frangipane, sprinkle with some sliced blanched almonds. Bake for 40 mins / golden and firm outside, soft in middle.

Damn it! I forgot to try to be funny! Fit to be tied now...
