Kitty and I made this tonight, and it was so amazing and delicious that I decided to write up the directions (we spliced two different recipes and added our own creativity) and share it with you!
Preheat oven at 375 degrees.
This recipe makes two cake pan/casserole dish sized pizzas.
Phyllo dough
4 garlic cloves
Italian seasoning (or your herbs of choice)
Shredded mozzarella cheese (and whatever other cheese you prefer)
Olive oil
Ten layers of phyllo (fillo) dough per pizza
Generously spray one rectangular cake pan with cooking spray. Lay down one layer of fillo dough, pressing into the edges (most fillo dough comes in huge sheets; you may want to cut the sheets in half so they fit in the pan without too much overlap). Lightly brush with olive oil (or butter) and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, or the cheese of your choice (be stingy, you're going to repeat this nine times!). Place another piece of fillo dough down, and press so the top sheet adheres to the bottom. Repeat until you have laid 10 pieces of fillo dough down.
Lightly brush the last sheet with olive oil.
The sauce I use is comprised of a half a can of your basic tomato sauce, plus four cloves of minced garlic (I like it with lots of garlic, and remember, this is for two pizzas; use a quarter of the can and two cloves of garlic for one pizza), and basic Italian seasoning (use whatever spices you want if you prefer your own blend). Lightly spread over the fillo dough layers and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Next come the toppings! For my version, I cut up:
1 cup of onions (½ cup for each pizza)
½ of a large can of black olives
One medium sized plum tomato (or similar), sliced thinly
¾ cup of frozen or canned spinach (approximately), rinsed, drained, and pressed dry
½ cup of crumbled feta cheese (of more, if you prefer)
Slide them in the oven and bake for about 28 minutes. I set the timer for 25 minutes and checked it, so just be aware of how hot your oven runs and plan accordingly. The oven I used runs fairly hot, hence the careful time setting.
