- Pour the filling over the 5 layered phyllo sheets.
- Spread evenly.
- Layer the rest of the phyllo sheets over the filling, brushing each phyllo sheet first well with butter.
- Tuck in all the excess pastry into the sides and into the bottom of the ovendish.
- Using a sharp knife, score the top layers of phyllo sheets into squares.
- Pour melted butter over the whole surface and then generously sprinkle with cold water.
- Bake in a preheated oven, 180°C, for 1 hour, until golden.
- As soon as the galaktobouriko comes out of the oven, and while it is still hot, spoon over the whole surface the cooled syrup. Make sure the phyllo parstry is well drenched.
- Let the galaktobouriko cool completely and absorb all the syrup. Do not cover while it is cooling, or it will get soggy.
