Directions:

Mix the 4 ingredients together in a separate bowl.

Lay out the filo dough (cover with dry damp towel).
Take 1 sheet and put on table. Dab it with oil.
Repeat this so you will have three sheet as base.
Sprinkle with mixture. Repeat the sheeting but use only 2 sheets.

Roll the filo loosely until you come to the end. Make sure you do not have
any mixture at top of filo dough. Brush top end with oil so it will stick
