Transfer the sheets of phyllo dough into an 8 inch springform pan with the edges over the sides as in the IG Reel. Repeat this process with another 6 sheets of phyllo dough and then add to the pan crossing the other direction so the entire pan edge is covered. Using a fork, poke the bottom of the dough. Bake for 5 mins. Remove from oven and let cool. Reduce oven heat to 320F.
