  • Preheat the oven to 392°F (th.6-7). Place 1 sheet of filo dough on the work surface with the long side facing you, brush with melted butter, and place a second sheet on top. Repeat the process to use a total of 5 sheets. Cover the remaining 5 sheets with a cloth to prevent them from drying out.

  • Place half of the meat mixture in the middle of the top buttered sheet of dough. Fold the side of the dough closest to you over the filling, then roll it up. Transfer the roll to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down, and folded into a half-circle. Repeat the process with 5 more sheets of filo and the remaining filling. Place them next to the previous roll to form a circle.
