Bouchon Bakery’s Pâte Brisée

Author: Shawn

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup 70 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup + 1 1/2 Tbs 82 grams all-purpose flour
  • 8 Tbs 114 grams or 1 stick unsalted butter, cold and diced into 1/4-inch cubes
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 Tbs 30 grams ice water

Instructions

  • Combine 1/2 cup flour and salt in bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on low using the paddle attachment.
  • With mixer on low, add butter pieces in four or five additions.
  • Increase mixer speed to medium-low and mix for about 1 minute, or until thoroughly blended.
  • Add remaining flour and mix on medium-low until just combined.
  • Add ice water and mix until incorporated. The dough will pull away from the sides and stick on the paddle. It will be smooth and not sticky.
  • Shape into a 6-inch disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
  • When needed, roll out to size between two sheets of baking parchment.
