I'm wondering - would it be ok to leave it in the refrigerator for more than 2 hours before cooking? Would 4 hours be too much?

Marie, you can even leave them in the fridge over night.
Thanks for visiting.

Thanks for sharing the recipe , can I use butter instead of oil, so I don't have to brush each fillo dough with oil? Also do I have to leave it in the fridge or can I just bake once done ?

My Turkish Kitchen said...

Yes, you can use melted butter instead.you can bake right away too. However, it tastes better if it rest in the fridge at least for couple of hours
Thank you...
