Q: I have a recipe that asks for four sheets of phyllo dough. However the brand I buy is frozen, and in order to get four sheets, I have to let it all thaw. Can I put it back in the freezer, or do I now have to use it up? Is there a way to just get a few sheets out of the package? Thanks!

Editor: Since sheets of phyllo are fairly dry, I imagine that they would re-freeze well without sticking to each other or becoming gummy. I've never tried it myself, though!
Readers, any advice on re-freezing phyllo?
Next question?

Wrap tightly and feel free to put it back in the freezer. I usually keep my leftover phyllo in ziplock bags to prevent freezer burn.
so good to know, I have a package of phyllo and didn't even know I'd be asking this question until it popped up on TheKitchn :)
I have thawed and re-freezed the same batch of phyllo several times now - I don't notice any quality change.
ARRGGHHH where was this post a week ago!!! I just tossed a bunch :(
Yup.
it works! In fact, my box even says it's ok, though it recommends using it up within 3 months
As long as you rewrap it, you're safe to do so!
