Working With Filo Dough

Intimidated by filo? No need to be, says Martha, who will show you that the dough is more forgiving than you might think as she demonstrates making a filo strudel, a Mediterranean greens and feta pie as well as stuffed filo triangles.
Making Pâte Brisée

Fillings for Pâte Brisée

Learn the secret of blind baking -- partially baking your crusts before filling -- which will give your quiches and tarts flaky, crispy crusts, as you make a classic quiche and an Alsatian caramelized onion tart. Finish your education in pâte brisée with Martha's "double-crusted extravaganza," an egg, leek, spinach and green chile torta.
