SC - fila

[Sarah Elmore]

How old is the dough in the Freezer. Also are the layers still separate?

I tend to make my strudles in batches of 5 and then Freeze them. As long as 
they are used within a few months they are fine. I wouln't let them sit in 
the Freezer for more than 4 months as the quality goes down. But for you if 
the layers are still workable you should be fine.

Is this comment about the filo only being good for a week because you
are putting it in the refrigerator instead of the freezer? Or something
else?

Last time I used some philo dough for something, I put the rest of it in
the freezer. Although it's gotten banged around a little from falling
out a few times, does this mean that I shouldn't have done this and
that it will not be good to use it for something like this strudel pie?
