Questions

What is Flogeres?

What temperature do I cook Flogeres at?

For Flogeres, the oven is set to 350 F (about 175 C) in step 1. The longest stretch at that heat is 30 minutes, in step 5.

Is there a substitute for honey in Flogeres?

Can I make Flogeres gluten-free?

Not cleanly. 16 sheets phyllo dough, thawed has no substitute that behaves the same way in this dish. If you need strictly gluten-free, start from the gluten-free dessert collection instead.

Does Flogeres contain tree nuts?

Yes: 1 cup walnuts, finely chopped and 1/2 cup almonds, finely chopped. The full allergen list for this entry is gluten, dairy and tree nuts. Where the nuts are a garnish or a texture, toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds stand in. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.
