Pâte Brisée
Pâte Brisée recipe is a rich tart dough that is tender and crumbly yet at the same time very sturdy. It is closely related to my Pâte Sucrée recipe which is a sweet-tart dough, the only real difference between a Pâte Brisée and a Pâte Sucrée is the omission of sugar from the recipe. Which makes it an excellent dough for savory dishes.
