Preparation

Gluten-free shortcrust pastry

1

The quickest way to prepare shortcrust pastry is by using a mixer equipped with blades at the bottom (such as Bimby). Put the cold butter from the refrigerator together with the flour and blend until you obtain a mixture similar to wet sand.

2

Then add the salt and water slowly, always with the blades moving. You will notice that after a few moments a ball of dough will begin to form. At this point, stop the machine and transfer everything onto a lightly floured pastry board.

3

Work the gluten-free brisee quickly so as not to heat it, then wrap it in cling film and leave it to rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

Gluten-free pastry brisee is perfect for preparing delicious savory pies . To give it an extra boost of flavor you can flavor the dough with:

  • fresh basil, but also parsley or other aromatic herbs chopped with a knife;
  • powdered spices (curry, cumin, turmeric, pepper, etc.);
    grated parmesan to give an extra touch of flavor. Replace 30 g of flour with the same weight of cheese.

Experiment with this dough to make delicious gluten-free recipes such as strudel or use it for your savory pies : it is perfect for the Pasqualina cake .
