- Dip your hand in olive oil and make quick prints on the sheets.
- Repeat until you’ve used up one-third of the dough.
- Place one-third of the meat mixture in a log shape on the phyllo dough, leaving space at the edges.
- Roll and tuck in the sides tightly to form a log shape, ensuring the sides are well tucked in to prevent leaks.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and filling to make three logs.
