Meet your instructor, Martha Holmberg, and make your first delectable creation as you learn to roll out, pierce and top premade puff pastry for a deliciously fresh and savory Provençal pizza. Then conquer make-ahead mini quiches.
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.
Turn your focus to a homemade crust as you explore how to make pâte brisée, the classic French unsweetened pastry dough, perfect for savory creations. Learn to make it with the help of a food processor or entirely by hand.
Increase your pâte brisée mastery as you roll out and line your pie plates and removable-bottom tart pans with your dough. Then learn two easy methods for creating decorative edges on your pastries.
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.
Make your own puff pastry as Martha shows you the art of making a "rough puff," an easier version of the dough that mimics the flaky, buttery goodness of traditional puff pastry.
Put that rough puff to work as you bake along with Martha to make a potato, smoked gouda and kale tart as well as a leek, goat cheese and herb galette.
