4. Repeat the process for all the phyllo.
5. Cut your phyllo into 6 rectangles with a length of 10 cm. and a width of 4 cm.
6. Using two identical baking pans, put the phyllo in the first baking pan with non-stick paper.
7. Cover the phyllo with another non-stick paper and then cover with the second baking pan. 
8. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
9. Let them cool.
