Quiche dough is the perfect base for preparing a versatile and delicious savory tart. This recipe, of French origin, is characterized by its crumbly texture and neutral flavor, ideal for both sweet and savory fillings. With just a few basic ingredients like flour, butter, margarine, salt, and water, you can achieve an easy-to-handle dough that never fails. It's perfect for both beginners and experts looking for a quick and homemade option.
The combination of butter and margarine provides just the right amount of fat to achieve a flaky and tender texture, while resting in the fridge makes it easier to roll out and prevents it from breaking. Additionally, since it doesn't contain baking powder, the dough doesn't rise excessively, maintaining its shape when baked.
This dough is the base for the classic quiche Lorraine, but you can also use it for vegetable tarts, mushroom quiches, or even sweet versions with fruits and pastry cream. Being so adaptable, it allows you to make the most of ingredients you have in the fridge, such as vegetables, cheeses, or ham, avoiding waste.

Have a bowl, and then mix the ingredients; flour, soft butter and margarine (room temperature), salt and water.
With your fingers you should mix the ingredients until you get a smooth dough.
Finally, make a ball with the dough and wrap it in plastic wrap. You take the dough to the fridge, this is so that it cools down and is easier to stretch without breaking.
When you have the dough cold and you have to stretch it, preheat the oven to 180°C. In a mold (whatever you have or want) you stretch your dough, without having to grease it since the dough has enough fat. Then with a fork, prick it on several sides. These tips help so that the dough does not rise and is left with reliefs. Bake for about 15 minutes, you can watch so that it doesn't burn and/or overcook, remember that you still have to add your filling.
