Portuguese egg tart crust

Portuguese egg tart crust is a common home-cooked dish, and it is very easy to make. No frying is required, just simple stir-frying will make a delicious dish. The meal would be even more delicious if served with a soup.

1. Prepare the necessary ingredients. Tools needed: silicone mat, rolling pin, plastic wrap, small plastic bag, mixing bowl, weighing machine

2. After mixing the low flour, high flour and powdered sugar, add the liquefied butter and 50 grams of water and knead into a dough. Do not add water all at once. Add water as needed based on the dryness of the dough after it forms a ball.

3. After kneading into a smooth dough, wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rise for 30 minutes. This process allows the dough to fully absorb oil and water, making it tough and convenient for repeated kneading later.

4. Wrap in butter and put into a small plastic bag. Beat with a rolling pin and roll into thin slices slightly larger than half the size of the plastic bag and refrigerate.

5. Roll the proofed dough into a size about three times the size of the butter slices used for wrapping.

6. Use the extra dough on the left and right sides to cover the butter slices one after another.

7. After the joints of the dough are sealed, press gently from the middle to both ends with your hands to expel the air wrapped in the dough from both sides, and then seal both ends.

8. Open it slightly and fold both ends towards the middle.

9. After folding in half, fold it in half again (this step is actually the same as folding a quilt?), then wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator to relax for at least 20 minutes. This is the first 40% discount. In addition to this time, we will do two more 40% discounts. After each quarter fold, refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to ensure that the dough is fully relaxed and the butter is solidified before proceeding with the next steps!

10. Second 40% discount

11. After the third quarter fold, you can already see the color of butter.

12. Roll the dough that has been folded three times into a rectangular sheet about 24 cm long, then roll it up. The pastry for the Portuguese egg tart is now ready. Wrap the prepared puff pastry with plastic wrap and refrigerate for half an hour before taking it out and cutting it into pieces to make egg tarts.

13. Take a look at the slightly hardened surface after refrigeration. The butter layer and the surface layer are clearly distinguished. If you can do this, congratulations, you have succeeded! If you don’t believe it, try baking an egg tart??
