I made homemade phyllo dough once, ONCE. Thought my arms were going to fall off after all that rolling.Homemade Phyllo (or Filo) Dough
Make your own phyllo dough using this excellent step-by-step recipe from Chef John. It's way more fun than buying it frozen from the store!www.allrecipes.com
Homemade puff pastry or croissant dough isn't hard to make, just time consuming in that it has to spend lots of inactive time in the refrigerator compared to short bursts of active time rolling the dough out and doing the "turns." I use this recipe.
Croissants
Made well, there is nothing better than a warm croissant. Just add coffee and a newspaper for the perfect breakfast.

I've been working myself up to making a batch. Last time I made 4 upscale pigs-n-blankets, 4 pain au Chocolat, and used the rest for mini croissants.
