Basic Tart Dough
This simple recipe makes enough for one flakey 10-in diameter tart or one 14x10-in galette. Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
6 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into pieces
1 large organic egg, beaten to blend
PREPARATION
Whisk sugar, salt and 1 cup flour in a medium bowl.
Add butter and rub in with your fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal with a few pea-sized pieces remaining.
Pour egg mixture over butter mixture and mix gently with a fork until dough just comes together.
Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.
Form dough into a disk. Wrap in plastic and chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
Dough can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled or freeze up to 1 month.
