Interesting Snippet:
The Physics of Phyllo: how 40 Layers became the Magic Number. Bakers stretched dough so thin, one could read the Quran through it (legend says).
Fun Facts
"Ottoman bakers discovered that 40 layers of phyllo created the perfect balance—crispy yet tender, flaky but sturdy. Fewer than 30 layers = too fragile. More than 50 = dense & soggy. Heat Transfer: 40 layers allow even butter distribution—crispy top, moist middle, shattering base. Golden Ratio: Each layer bakes at 0.1mm thinness—40 layers = 4mm total (ideal crunch-to-softness ratio).
Time Pass
Science says: It’s where geometry meets gastronomy. ✨🥮"
