### Step 2: Prepare the Dough
ADVERTISEMENT
Carefully unroll your phyllo dough sheets. Keep them covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out. Take one sheet, brush it generously with melted butter or olive oil.
### Step 3: Assemble the Banichki
Place a spoonful of filling at one end of the phyllo sheet. Roll it up tightly like a cigar or fold into small squares or triangles—whichever shape you prefer.
### Step 4: Brush and Bake
Place the prepared banichki on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with more melted butter or oil for that beautiful golden color.
Bake in a preheated oven at **375°F (190°C)** for about **20–25 minutes**, or until the pastries are crisp and golden.
